Maren Morris has joined forces with Julia Michaels for the new song, “Cut!”.
The song is featured on Morris’s upcoming five-song project Intermission, which bows Aug. 2.
Earlier this week, Morris alerted fans to the upcoming collab by posting a photo on social media. The pic featured Morris and Michaels in a kitchen, with Michaels seated at a table and Morris standing atop the table and wielding a chainsaw.
“Can’t wait to cathartically scream f–k at the top of our lungs together,” Morris captioned the photo.
This week, Morris also shared the track listing for Intermission: “Cut!,” “I Hope I Never Fall in Love,” “Push Me Over,” “Because, Of Course,” and “This is How a Woman Leaves.”
Last year, the Grammy winner released a pair of songs entitled “The Tree” and “Get the Hell Out of Here.” The new five-song set follows her 2022 album Humble Quest and her 2019 CMA album of the year-winning project GIRL.
Michaels and Morris have previously collaborated, as they are among the co-writers on the song “Circles Around This Town” from Morris’ Humble Quest project. “Circles Around This Town” earned Grammy nominations for best country solo performance and best country song.
In addition to her own hits including her 2017 debut solo single “Issues,” Michaels is a writer on hit songs for Demi Lovato, Ed Sheeran, Selena Gomez and more. Her 2020 collaboration with JP Saxe, “If The World Was Ending,” picked up a Grammy nomination for song of the year.
Morris is well-known for her thoughtful collaborations throughout her career, including her work as part of the music collective The Highwomen, as well as collaborations with Taylor Swift (“You All Over Me”), Zedd (“The Middle”), Brandi Carlile (“Common”), and Vince Gill (“Dear Hate”).
