Kylie Morgan has released her debut radio single, “If He Wanted To He Would,” which she co-wrote with Zandi Holup and Ben Johnson. An upbeat anthem with in-your-face honesty, “If He Wanted To He Would” shipped today, hitting airwaves with an official add date of July 25th.
“’If He Wanted To He Would’ is a very, very special song to me for many reasons,” she says. “But I really believe that in today’s world, dating is so different than it used to be first of all, and I just miss the remember when you had to walk up to someone and actually start a conversation rather than like being able to swipe left and right, and I just feel like everyone in the dating world, especially in 2022 now is just doing the bare minimum. Do you remember when you had to buy a girl flowers to even go on the first date? Remember that was a thing? I feel like everyone is treating dating and loving in general as such a convenience rather than an effort, and I feel like ‘If He Wanted To He Would’ is that reminder for, especially girls, set your standards high and don’t lower them just because it’s convenient for someone else. Know what you’re worth and continue to just love yourself through that and rock that.”
Kylie serves it up straight with lyrics including: If he loved you he would tell you, If he missed you he would call, If he wants you to meet his momma, Then he would bring you home.
Just ‘cause he liked your old picture
Don’t mean he’s stuck on the past
Just ‘cause he talks to your brother
Don’t mean he’s still attached
Just ‘cause he’s drunk at 2 a.m.
Texts, “Hey what’s up girl, how you been?”
Don’t read too much into that
Don’t mean he wants you back
Chorus:
If he loved you, he would tell you
If he missed you, he would call
If he wants you to meet his momma
Then he would bring you home
Oh, there ain’t no excuse
He ain’t mister misunderstood
Quit lying to yourself
If he wanted to, he would
If he wanted to, he would
Just ‘cause he said, happy birthday
Don’t waste a wish on him
Don’t psychoanalyze him
Make it more than what it is
He won’t suddenly be the somebody
You wish he always was
If he didn’t, then he doesn’t
If he wouldn’t, then he wasn’t
Repeat Chorus
He might’ve set the bar low
But might keep your standards high
Ain’t telling you nothing you don’t know
You know he ain’t worth your time
Repeat Chorus
If he wanted to, he would
If he wanted to, he would
If he wanted to, he would
Kylie also just released her brand new EP, P.S., the follow-up to her previous EP, Love, Kylie. With each track telling a chapter of her story, Kylie co-penned all seven songs, produced by Shane McAnally and Ben Johnson.
