What Does Morgan Wallen's Chasin' You Mean?

While Morgan Wallen has become one of the most recognizable faces in country music, he's tried to stay humble. In an interview with Country Now he said, "The fact that people are buying into me, and treating me so well, and caring — I already took it serious, but it makes me take it more serious...I sing, I write, we record. That's just my life. I put every bit of passion I've got into it because I'm so grateful to have this chance."

Fans have connected with Wallen's music because his lyrics are intimate and personal. It seems he takes great inspiration from his own life and the things he's been through. "I think the most important thing is to be yourself, 100% — to be transparent," Wallen told The Boot, "If you're up there and you're not comfortable in your own skin, people can tell, and it just creates a weird vibe for everybody involved."

As he gained fame, the Washington Post writes that there's more of a balance between his true-self and his growing audience. "A lot of people get too caught up in trying to be Hollywood ... like that's the epitome of success or something. That's just not how I view it," he said. "Just hard work and treating people good is something to hang your hat on. I don't want those values to get lost," he said.
