Maren Morris has never sounded more fearless. The Grammy-winning singer-songwriter’s new single “Be a Bitch” is out now, offering a raw, moody, and unapologetically honest look at reclaiming power and humor after heartbreak. Produced by Jimmy Robbins and co-written with longtime collaborator Laura Veltz, the track marks the first of four new songs featured on Dreamsicle (Deluxe), out now via Columbia Records.
On the cutting new anthem, Morris swaps politeness for power. “After telling my friends in the session about a recent traumatic dating story, I said everything that became a lyric: ‘my reputation precedes me, your hairline recedes you,’ thinking nothing would actually go into the song because it’s ‘too mean,’” she explains. “Then I realized I occasionally water my thoughts down to spare a person’s feelings. Who is that helping? I don’t need to be a pristine heroine you screwed over, I deserve to be mad and eternalize that ego bruise into song. ‘Be a Bitch’ is for anyone who ever let themselves down by being too nice to someone who was going to take advantage either way.”
The Dreamsicle (Deluxe) edition expands on Morris’s acclaimed fourth album, featuring three additional new tracks: the soft and dreamy “In Love With Me,” the freedom-chasing summer anthem “Running,” and the grounding, ethereal closer “Earth Angle.” Each song further cements Morris’s evolution as a songwriter unafraid to explore emotional depth and sonic experimentation.
Following her powerful set at Newport Folk Festival, Morris is currently on The Dreamsicle Tour, a sprawling 40-date run across North America, the UK, and Europe that continues through late November. Blending intimate headlining shows with major festival appearances, the tour captures the full spectrum of her artistry — fierce, funny, vulnerable, and free.
With Dreamsicle, Maren Morris steps confidently into her most personal era yet — one that radiates honesty and growth while embracing imperfection as strength. It’s a reminder that sometimes empowerment sounds a little bit like anger, and that’s exactly what makes it beautiful.
