Fans are counting down the days until Morgan Wallen officially drops his highly anticipated album, “I’m the Problem.” But it seems some just couldn’t wait, opting instead to share a sneak peek of the new material with the world.
This week, an unreleased duet featuring Canadian pop singer Tate McRae and the country megastar found its way online, sending both fandoms into a frenzy.
The leak surfaced on TikTok, where a user uploaded a clip of the song, reportedly titled “What I Want.” In the snippet, fans can clearly hear McRae’s signature breathy vocals layered with Wallen’s unmistakable Southern drawl. The video quickly gained traction before being removed due to copyright violations.
TikTok Leak Causes Stir
The leak is believed to have come shortly after Wallen hosted a private album preview event at his very own bar in Nashville, where he invited special guests for an exclusive listening session.
But TikTok got to it first. Not before fans screen-recorded the video and shared snippets across various social media platforms.
Although neither Wallen nor McRae have publicly addressed the leak, the buzz surrounding the unexpected collaboration is pretty much undeniable. Wallen has already released his duet with Post Malone, so fans are eagerly awaiting his other high-profile collaborations with country artists Eric Church, HARDY, and ERNEST.
For fans of both artists, the duet is an exciting cross-genre blend of heartache and harmony—something that feels right at home on a Morgan Wallen album.
‘I’m The Problem’ Makes Waves
“I’m the Problem” is set to include a whopping 37 tracks and has already made waves on the charts with singles like “Superman,” “Just in Case,” “I’m the Problem,” “Lies, Lies, Lies,” and “Love Somebody.” The collaboration with McRae adds yet another layer of intrigue to an already packed tracklist.
Reactions to the leak have been pretty mixed online, especially since it was only a snippet and not the full-length track. While many are thrilled to get an early listen, others are encouraging fans to wait for the official release. This is in order to support both of the artists’ work and vision.
Intentional or not, one thing is certain— fans are ready for Wallen’s next chapter. And this unexpected, genre-blending duet with McRae may just become one of the most talked-about moments of the album.
