Maren Morris is having a big week. Her new song “Parachute” is out now alongside an official lyric video, written specifically for CBS procedural Sheriff Country, where Morris also makes her acting debut in tonight’s penultimate episode of season one, airing at 8 pm ET/PT.
In the episode, Morris plays Hazel, a sponsor to Skye, Sheriff Mickey’s daughter, whose recovery journey has been one of the emotional centers of the season. Hazel arrives as a grounding presence during a pivotal moment in Skye’s story, and “Parachute” provides the musical backdrop for that arc.
The song itself is an uplifting, emotionally resonant track about overcoming adversity and allowing difficult moments to become catalysts for growth and healing. Produced by longtime collaborator Jimmy Robbins, it pairs lush, ethereal production with Morris’s soaring vocal performance. It’s one of her most expansive-sounding releases in recent memory, and lands with real emotional weight.
Next month, Morris heads out on the DreamGirl Tour, a 12-date summer run with support from Scout Willis covering the west coast of North America, with stops in Calgary, Las Vegas, Denver, Salt Lake City, Seattle, and more. The run arrives as Morris approaches the tenth anniversary of ‘Hero,’ her breakthrough debut album from 2016, and draws from all 4 albums in her catalog.
“Parachute” is out now via Columbia Nashville.
