Artist: Morgan Evans
Single: Over For You
Album: TBA
Label: Warner Music Nashville
Impact Date: October 24th, 2022 (AllAccess)
Writers: Geoff Warburton, Madison Love, Morgan Evans, Tim Sommers

His new single is inspired by his divorce with Kelsea Ballerini. Not sure whether a studio version will be available or they will send the live version to radio.

Interesting that the ad in Country Aircheck Weekly says "New Studio Version by popular demand" ... but the link on the ad goes to the live version.

This song is gorgeous. It went viral on tik tok a few weeks back after an unofficial live performance. I think if pushed properly it could become a pretty big hit.

The studio version was sent to radio this morning.

The studio version is phenomenal.

This is by far the best radio single from Morgan to date.

Looks like it's just at radio right now, which is rare these days. 

I'm guessing it gets released Friday but could be later this week. This all came together very quick and the label wanted to get the song out there quickly.

What an example that some of the best art comes from darkness. My favorite Morgan Evans song. Hope this finds huge success and relaunches his career.

I said it before in another thread before it was a confirmed single, but this is a fantastic song and handily the best thing he's put out to date. Basically everything he's put out to radio prior to this has been inoffensive fluff, but this really packs a punch... it sucks that he had to go through a painful heartbreak IRL to get this song to come out of him though. Glad he was able to turn it into a great song and if there was ever a time I was rooting for him to get a hit, it would be with this.

[mnvikings]

And here I thought a duet with Kelsea would relaunch his career.

[Tylerjamesnerd]

I shed tears listening to this. I hope it’s massive and game changing for Morgan!!

[Carriefan1190]

This song is like a punch to the gut. You can feel his emotion with every word. I don’t usually like to take sides in celebrity divorces, but this song makes it clear that it was Kelsea who decided that it was over. I truly hope this smashes, because this is easily the best song he has ever released.

[rbundy1987]

Studio version is now up on All Access, MAN, this song packs a punch. Incredible song that I am sure many others out there who are having marital problems will relate to this.

*** now on YouTube***

[Carriefan1190]

I hope his label sticks with the live version for radio. The studio version is ok, but the song loses its effectiveness imo when you speed it up. You can legitimately feel his pain in the live version and all that seems to be lost in the studio version.

I don’t post much, I’m kinda a lurker, but I have to agree. The live version has so much more emotion in it and I think it’s due to the tempo. And that’s weird for me because I almost always prefer studio to live, but this is the exception

[Tylerjamesnerd]

Honestly not feeling the studio version. I’m pretty disappointed, I wish it was more like the live version. Aka slower and better vocals. The production is not that great. I say send the live version to radio and call it a day.

Edit: just listened to the live again and it’s so emotional and beautiful, I’m so upset.

[austin]

I don’t blame Morgan/the label for speeding up the studio version just a little because of what “works” on radio. I think it’s actually not bad though the “how long?/how long?” stuff after the chorus is unnecessary.

The live version IS better but the studio version didn’t ruin the song for me or anything.

Third most added with 14 adds this week and total historic adds.

[.indulgecountry]

Welp, most buzz he's had in awhile and... looks like radio still isn't interested in him. RIP.

[raylatch98]

I mean I am not shocked this didn't do much on adds this early on since this was so fast tracked. I do think maybe it can catch on later, maybe it can catch on with more adds but this release and handling of said song feels a bit rushed. 

[recordyear]

I think it's the best they can do because it is based on a recent event. It probably gets a better performance than other singles he released already.

The buzz is not there for Morgan but typically stations confirm adds two or three weeks in advance of actually adding it. Wasn't surprised by the low adds here.

This song was sent to country radio and the impact date was five days later. I think this will be a slow and steady stream of adds over the next several weeks. I'm not predicting this is a radio hit but I think the low impact date adds were expected, given the rollout. They didn't want this to impact after the CMA's and towards the holidays because of other songs impacting then and the fear of completely getting lost in the shuffle. They wanted it at radio as soon as possible, while knowing the impact day adds were not going to be great.

[recordyear]

14 adds this week and debut at #50 on Billboard's Country Airplay chart.

[raylatch98]

Lost about a third in audience this week and is down to #53 on Billboard tonight. Wouldn't be shocked if the label pulled this as it has been doing nothing since the debut and it's audience/spin losses indicate this is probably done.

[.indulgecountry]

Was initially rooting for this to do something for him based on the live version, but honestly don't care if this flops at this point knowing that most radio stations are probably playing that awful sterile studio cut of the song instead. If this has indeed peaked, then I think Morgan Evans is truly finished. This having a decent reception out of the gate made me think this might be his last chance at making a wave, but if this can't even make top 40, then I don't see him ever getting another hit.

[Kanenrá:ke]

His total adds was still pretty low for a song that was in the 40’s so maybe it’s just balancing out now in airplay. I wouldn’t say it’s dead yet but it also very well could be.

The important parts of the article below:

Morgan Evans is sharing more of his perspective on his divorce from Kelsea Ballerini in a new docuseries about his single "Over For You."

The new mini documentary is made up of five episodes that are about 10 minutes long, titled "The Return," "The Reset," "The Reunion," "The Release" and "The Refresh."

They capture Evans as he goes back home to Australia and New Zealand for the CMC Rocks QLD Festival, where he debuted his composition in front of 25,000 fans.

Evans' five-part series is available to stream on his YouTube channel.

[zdm1998]

Watched the first 3 ish videos and they were a whole bunch of nothing imo. Lost interest and didn't feel like watching the rest.

[.indulgecountry]

Lol @ him putting out a whole docuseries. You tried to beat her to the punch with "Over for You" and she properly steamrolled you bro with her project, just take the L and move on. This just reeks of desperation.
