Bringing the dance party to Cloud 9, Sony Music Nashville/Columbia Records singer/songwriter Megan Moroney is sharing an all-new song called “Sorry… I Meant Tonight (Bonus)” — a bonus track from her just-released and wildly celebrated third studio album. A sing-along-ready snapshot of sudden infatuation, the bop arrives in the midst of her crowd-inducing “9 Cities. 9 Days.” (an ongoing fan-focused celebration featuring exclusive appearances in nine cities across the country). First teasing on her social media yesterday (2/25), go here to listen to “Sorry… I Meant Tonight (Bonus)” now.
Written by Moroney, Luke Laird, and Jessie Jo Dillon and produced by Kristian Bush, the gloriously punchy anthem fully captures the rush of an instant crush, where attraction, fantasy, and nerves all collide to dizzying effect. With its dance-ready backdrop of bass-heavy grooves, silky guitar tones, and heart-racing drums, “Sorry… I Meant Tonight (Bonus)” strikes a fantastic balance of self-aware humor and slightly unhinged projection — a dynamic perfectly encapsulated at its breezy but breathless chorus (“So, you pick a place and I’ll pick a time / Under the stars or the city lights / What are you doing for the rest of your life? / Oh sorry, I meant tonight”).
.One of the most talked-about albums of 2026, Cloud 9 has made countless headlines since its release last Friday. In addition to turning heads with major tastemakers like Pitchfork, the 15-song stunner has gained acclaim from the likes of Rolling Stone (who hailed Moroney as the “Poet of Gen Z Heartbreak”), Billboard (“she continues conveying her strength in distilling love, loss, disappointment and heartbreak into sharply crafted, witty lyrics, infused with honesty and vulnerability that cut to the bone”), and American Songwriter (who featured the Emo Cowgirl on the cover of their February digital issue and noted that the LP “finds Moroney stepping deeper into her artistic identity and putting forth her confidence like never before”).
With its stacked tracklist including standouts like the GOLD-certified Country radio No. 1 smash “6 Months Later” and Billboard Hot 100-charting Country radio hit “Beautiful Things,” Cloud 9 has also garnered features in prominent publications like Esquire, Los Angeles Times, and USA Today (who praised Moroney as “an artist who understands contradiction: confidence and doubt, joy and grief, and ambition and gratitude”).
The latest in a hot streak of high-profile appearances for Moroney, next week’s stop at NBC's The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon will mark her first visit to the show since 2024, when she delivered a sweetly devastating rendition of “No Caller ID” (a PLATINUM hit from her GOLD-certified sophomore album Am I Okay?). For her second trip to the iconic late-night show, Moroney will perform a surprise cut from Cloud 9. To check it out, tune in to NBC at 11:35 p.m. ET / 10:35 p.m. CT on Wednesday, March 4.
