Maren Morris is starting fresh with a new two-track EP, 'The Bridge.'
She went on to say that with the song, she was aiming to "relinquish control of trying to change everyone's mind or bad faith behavior and focus on my own power going forward.
"I didn't think of myself as a political artist. I just wrote songs about real life through a lens of deep respect for my country heroes," she told the outlet. "But the further you get into the country music business, that's when you start to see the cracks. And once you see it, you can't un-see it. So you start doing everything you can with the little power you have to make things better.
"...I don't think that biting the hand that fed you is a real thing. It's kind of a fallacy at this point, with all this fear-mongering about getting Dixie Chick-ed and whatnot," she said. "Country music is a business, but it gets sold, particularly to young writers and artists who come up within it, as almost a god. It kind of feels like indoctrination. If you truly love this type of music and you start to see problems arise, it needs to be criticized.
