Country music star Morgan Wallen is shifting gears with a brand-new teaser for a song that truly reflects his country roots. While his upcoming album I’m the Problem has mostly shared emotional ballads and heartbreak tracks so far, Wallen is now bringing something bold, loud, and proudly Southern with “Come Back as a Redneck.”
Released as a teaser on April 1, the clip already has fans buzzing. The track celebrates the kind of rural lifestyle that Wallen has always embraced, full of dirt bikes, mudding, target shooting, and that classic “good ol’ boy” spirit.
A Song with a Message and a Bit of Sass
In “Come Back as a Redneck,” Wallen aims his lyrics at someone from a very different background—a “silver-spoon-fed trust fund kid.” But instead of throwing insults, the song has a more thoughtful tone. Wallen acknowledges that neither of them chose how they were raised.
“I didn’t choose my raisin’, and you didn’t choose yours,” he sings.
Still, he seems annoyed by how this person looks down on his country lifestyle. That’s where the clever twist comes in—he hopes they come back as a redneck in their next life, just so they can understand the life he’s lived.
In his social media post, Wallen even quoted the last line from the teaser: “Maybe then you’ll understand.” It’s a song with grit, pride, and a bit of fire—all things fans love about Morgan Wallen’s music.
Music Video Teaser Shows Wallen in His Element
Along with the teaser, Wallen shared a video that perfectly matches the energy of the song. It shows him enjoying his favorite pastimes—riding dirt bikes, getting muddy, and shooting at targets in a sunny countryside field. The video gives fans a glimpse into his everyday life and the lifestyle he proudly sings about.
Recent Buzz: Wallen’s SNL Appearance
The teaser comes shortly after Wallen’s appearance on Saturday Night Live (SNL), which also grabbed headlines. During the show, he performed two songs from I’m the Problem—the title track and another emotional piece called “Just in Case.” But what really got people talking was Wallen leaving the stage early as the show’s credits rolled.
Some fans felt it was just a misunderstanding, while others believed it was a quiet message to the show or even to New York City itself. After the show, Wallen posted a photo from an airport runway saying, “Get me to God’s country,” which many interpreted as a sign of his love for rural life over city life.
SNL’s Kenan Thompson responded to that post, saying it wasn’t his favorite thing to read and wondered why Wallen felt New York wasn’t “God’s country.”
