“I hope that when people hear this album, they self-reflect and love themselves in the current state they’re in,” shares Kylie. “I hope anyone who is listening sees themself within these songs and that it serves as the soundtrack to your journey. Along the way, I hope you find the words that you may not know how to say through the music. ’Cause if we’re all being honest…we’re just making it up as we go.”
Celebrating today’s release, Kylie is sharing the music video for “Country Girl,” the album’s amped-up ode to the boys on the backroads.
Kylie wrote or co-wrote each of the project’s 12 tracks, teaming up with some of Music Row’s most promising songwriters. Her bold breakout single, “If He Wanted To He Would,” set the stage for her debut album, as the title track “Making It Up As I Go” helped inform its direction. Introspective on “A Few Hearts Ago” and the confessional solo write “Quarter Life Crisis,” Kylie also shares anthems of female empowerment including “Ladies First” and the clever tongue-in-cheek “Sugar Daddy,” painting strong women as the lead characters in her songs. On the emotive “Class Rings” and autobiographical album closer “Old Me,” Kylie recounts her past with the wisdom of an older sister looking out for her younger self.

DownloadKylie Morgan (album story) OC: …chapter you’re on. :38
“Making It Up As I Go” is so special to me for so many special reasons. First of all, it’s my debut album. I’ve been working on this album all my life, but I really wanted to focus on the theme that I am in my life right now, which is a lot of different chapters. And all growing up I felt like I should’ve already been an adult. I felt like I was 28 by the time I was 13, to be honest, and now that I’m an adult and I’ve been doing what I’ve been doing for so long, now I just want to flashback to being a kid. So, I wrote this album for the in-betweeners, and I know that it’s so easy to get caught up in where you’re going and what you want to do, but I hope this is a soundtrack to whatever chapter you’re on.”
