Tucked into his fourth studio album I’m the Problem, “Kick Myself” is a raw, self-reflective track released on May 16, 2025 under the labels Big Loud / Republic / Mercury Records. The song was co-written by Morgan Wallen alongside Ryan Vojtesak, Ernest Keith Smith, James Maddocks, and Rocky Block, and produced by Joey Moi and Jacob Durrett.
“Kick Myself” blends traditional country instrumentation with modern touches like 808s, giving it a driving, contemporary edge. In the lyrics, Wallen opens up about giving up vices—“kicking the bottle,” “kicking the bag”—cutting off toxic influences, and trying hard to change, but still feeling a deep internal resistance. He admits that even though on the surface things may seem better, he can’t seem to “kick himself”—that inner struggle remains.
For bloggers and fans alike, “Kick Myself” is rich ground. It charts introspection and emotional conflict in a way that’s raw but relatable. You can stream “Kick Myself” on major platforms (Spotify, Apple Music, etc.) and look out for mp3 download links through official digital stores. This track is a standout on I’m the Problem that gives listeners insight into Wallen’s internal battles—definitely one to feature or dissect in your next blog post.
