Morgan Wallen dropped “Superman” on May 9, 2025 as a promotional single from his fourth studio album, I’m the Problem, under Big Loud / Mercury / Republic Records. The song is track #3 on the album and was co-written with Blake Pendergrass, Ryan Vojtesak, John Byron, and James Maddocks.
Unlike some of his more aggressive tracks, “Superman” is deeply personal and introspective. Wallen has said he wrote it as a letter to his son, Indigo, reflecting on his own mistakes, vulnerability, and the desire to be better as a father. The lyrics reference his public missteps — “One day you’re gonna see my mugshot / From a night when I got a little too drunk” — and compare his own struggles to how “Superman is still just a man sometimes.”
Fans can stream “Superman” across platforms since its release and look out for mp3 download options via official digital retailers. Because it was released ahead of the full album, the track has been given a moment to stand on its own emotionally. It’s one of those songs that showcases Wallen’s growth—willing to expose flaws while staking hope in redemption.
superman lyrics
One day, you’re gonna see my mugshot From a night when I got a little too drunk Hear a song about a girl that I lost From the times when I just wouldn’t grow up And when you ain’t a kid no more I hope you don’t think less of me I try to hide my falling short But you’re gonna see
Now and then, that bottle’s my kryptonite Brings a man of steel down to his knees Don’t always know my wrong from right Sometimes I’m my own worst enemy No, I don’t always save the day But you know for you, I’ll always try I do the best I can, but Superman’s Still just a man sometimes Oh, sometimes
One day, the weight of this cold world Gonna find it’s way down onto your back One night the wolves will get closer And you’ll be the one they’re running straight at Don’t you back down, don’t you run Stand your ground, stick to your guns You ain’t gonna dodge every punch, but Just know you ain’t the only one
Now and then, that bottle’s my kryptonite Brings a man of steel down to his knees Don’t always know my wrong from right Sometimes I’m my own worst enemy No, I don’t always save the day But you know for you, I’ll always try I do the best I can, but Superman’s Still just a man sometimes Oh, sometimes
I can’t stop the bullet, but I take one I can’t move a mountain, but I face one One day we’ll say, “Where’d the years go?” But I hope I’m always, your hero
‘Cause now and then, that bottle’s my kryptonite Brings a man of steel down to his knees Don’t always know my wrong from right Sometimes I’m my own worst enemy No, I don’t always save the day But you know for you, I’ll always try I do the best I can, but Superman’s Still just a man sometimes Oh, sometimes
