Morgan Evans is back with new music for the first time since 2019 with “Love Is Real,” released June 24. The track, penned by Evans, Jordan Reynolds and Parker Welling, is a spirited, summer-ready love song which finds the singer on a road trip with a love interest and falling more in love with every mile. With a driving beat and groovy guitar riff, Evans sings about the simple things he loves about his partner, such as her “bare feet on the bench seat,” which only confirm his belief that “Love Is Real.”
“And I could drive, your hand in mine / Oh, baby, we’ll go till we run outta road / And the rust runs out these wheels / The way I feel, know I always will / I am yours, you are mine, love is real,” sings Evans in the chorus.
Upon releasing the Dann Huff-produced single, Evans shared a note with fans on social media thanking them for their patience in their wait for new music.
“I can’t say thank you enough for your patience over this last year,” wrote Evans. “I know it’s been a weird one for us all in so many ways. Not playing shows for you guys and not releasing any music, among other things, really crushed my spirit but things feel like they’re turning around now and I know, for me, this new music is a huge part of that. I hope this song finds you where you are and fills you with all the good vibes we put into it!”
Evans also released a lyric video that mirrors the song’s spirit, as the lyrics overlay a video of a a car racing down a mountain road. Evans will perform “Love Is Real” live when he joins Brett Eldredge on his Good Day Tour, kicking off September 16 in Cleveland, Ohio. The tour will find Evans joined by a full band for the first time since he moved to America.
“It’s gonna be a good day! And a great fall! Stoked to announce that the band and I will be joining the man @bretteldredge on the road for his ‘Good Day Tour,’” Evans wrote on social media following the tour announcement.
“Love Is Real” follows multiple previous singles including 2018’s “Day Drunk” and his 2017 hit single, “Kiss Somebody.”
