I was hoping for either this or "Drunk Girls Don't Cry". Even if it's not huge airplay wise, I think that they made a good choice here. It definitely shows off a different side of Maren from the first three singles.

I knew she needed something in this vain to be the next single but this is one or my least faves from her (which doesn't say a lot considering how strong Hero is). Good but predictable single choice

I love this song, but I love every song on this album. I'm glad this is getting a single treatment but honestly I wouldn't been just as happy with "Sugar" or something else xoxo

Prediction: after the video for “The Middle” premiers, during the Grammys, Maren is going to be HUGE! I think the release of “The Middle” to pop radio and “Rich” to country is absolutely genius. People will be like “who is this chick with Zedd!?”, then look her up and “Rich” is the perfect sobg to blend the pop/country line for her.

Im glad their releasing more off this album, I just hope this chart run isn't to slow, i feel like we need a new era soon.
RICH, is very intristing, could see it resonating with the younger croud and maybe even crossing over.
With RICH, and THE MIDDLE hitting the airwaves I think she has one of her biggest hits yet on her hands.
She to me is set up much better than most "newer" artists to be a superstar on album 2.
Its nice to post in a country thread, its been a while 😅

Country radio doesn’t deserve Maren. It is a chore for them to convert her songs to heavy rotation. I bet the pop community will embrace her much more.

I wouldn’t have gone with this. Sugar and Rich are my least favourites, on a pretty flawless record. I would have gone with Bummin’ Cigerettes and re-release the deluxe edition of the record with Dear Hate and 2 new tracks/ acoustic rendition of The Middle. In a perfect world I guess.

34 adds on add date. Most added this week as well.
I want to like this song, but this song sounds horrible in so many ways. Production is horrible. The lyrics just come off way too diva esque and kinda bitchy if you ask me. I really wish they would've just taken some down time in between "I Could Use A Love Song" and her sophomore album. Honestly besides "My Church" and "80s Mercedes" as a guilty pleasure none of the Maren Morris singles have left a lasting impression on me and this song honestly was one of my least favorites on the album. Sorry.
Still excited for when she releases new music though😉!

Not one lyric in particular just the overall feel to it, feels kinda bitchy.

Listening to this again probably the line "But how much you wanna bet I'm a do this again" just comes off as cocky and bitchy, partly the lyrics and also the way Maren Morris presents it. She presents it in a rather bitchy tone imo. This whole song comes off as an ego trip and those type of songs are the songs I tend to not like.

Just saw this on twitter, while it's not so much about Rich, it can be applied to it I think.

You do realize that line is her poking fun at herself for falling for the guy again after all the times she's sworn him off only to allow herself to be dragged back into a toxic relationship? It sounds like you're not interpreting the song correctly.

Thank you for sharing! I hadn't seen that response, but had felt the same anger the writer feels at the sexist review (of a pop song, mind you) on SCM.

Ok reading that tweet and what the person (I assume it's SCM as it looks like his type of style) said, and I don't agree with what that person said about Maren Morris personally and that seems really awful. I just don't like this song but I would never go after an artist as a person. I think Maren Morris is a very talented singer, and in all the interviews I've seen she seems to be confident but still humble.

I hope the live video for this doesn't mean they won't give us an official music video, too. That said, "Rich" was definitely one of the biggest highlights of her live show with the audience singing the entire chorus back to her when I saw her so I'm glad they were able to highlight that by releasing a live video. Such a fan favorite!

I have been thinking a lot about Maren Morris and listening to her nonstop, possibly because of the Rankdown going on in the Games forum or possibly because I freaking LOVE her pop single "The Middle," but I really, truly think she is poised to EXPLODE with album 2. She is an UNREAL songwriter, and she has enough vocal range to not embarrass herself on a big stage. That said, what makes her stand out is she is a confident woman, and is not going to take anybody's crap or release material she doesn't think is up to her standards. In just a year and a half she already has a BRAND and made a NAME for herself, which is so, so important for a debut album. Way moreso than paying your way to #1 peaks. That is why I wanted this to be the next single so badly. It may not reach the top, but it is going to establish her even more as a unique, risk taking ARTIST and leave a longer lasting impression than "I Could Use A Love Song" did or a safe single like "Sugar" ever could have.
The posts above about this song being "bitchy" are completely 100% missing the entire point of the song. She is NOT saying "Look at me I am rich, bitch" she is saying "my guy is an idiot but I keep taking him back despite knowing hes absolutely no good." She then uses the chorus to be playful and explain all the money she would have and what she would do with it if she could cash in on his disappointments. Yes, we can be mad at her for being a meany face poo poo head and using a bad word for emphasis, but this song is NOT bitchy. Terrible word choice to explain this one. It is easily my favorite offering from her to date, and I am obsessed with her entire debut album.
With this bound to be my song of the Summer and a second album due in the final quarter, Kelsea Ballerini disposing of 'Legends' for what may become a career hit for her with 'I Hate Love Songs', and Carrie roaring back to take back FVOTY trophies from a stale Miranda, 2018 looks to be the most promising year for Females in a LONG time. I am here for it.
