Megan Moroney's long-teased-about track "Indifferent" has arrived.
Fans first got a preview of it via TikTok in March, where Megan teased the song as a "lil summer anthem."
"Indifferent" was penned by Megan alongside frequent collaborators Ben Williams, Mackenzie Carpenter and Micah Carpenter, and the track showcases her post-breakup, long-moved-on sentiments.
"Now I don't even know what I'm missin'/ Don't care what it is or it isn't/ Don't need your attention, or your time/ They say, 'Did you hear?'/ I say, 'No thanks I'm fine'/ I think I could wish you the best/ The truth is I couldn't care less/ How sweet it is to be so, so indifferent," Megan declares in the chorus.
"Indifferent" previews Megan's forthcoming sophomore album, Am I Okay?, arriving July 12. It follows her 2023 debut effort, Lucky, which spawned the #1 hit "Tennessee Orange" and current single, "I'm Not Pretty," which is #17 on the country charts.

The trailer for the special with Good Morning America co-anchor Robin Roberts premiered Monday morning and features some of the country singer's key moments that led to her numerous awards, including a Grammy earlier this year and the coveted CMA Award for entertainer of the year in 2023.
The trailer opens with Lainey saying, "I experienced a lot of rejection, a lot of heartache."
"I'm a tough woman, but it's not easy," she continues. "I have my days where you gotta do whatever you can to crawl out of those dark holes."
Several parts in the trailer also show that Lainey's childhood will be explored, as well as her journey to Nashville at 19 years old and how she lived in a camper trailer.
"Pulling up to Nashville, I was terrified, I was a fish out of water. At times, I was too country for country," she says. "But mama and daddy didn't raise no quitter."
In addition to her journey as an award-winning artist, the special will touch on the significance of the iconic bell bottoms after which Lainey named her fourth studio album, Bell Bottom Country.
The upcoming special is produced by ABC News Studios as one of several new projects currently in development by the ABC News Studios' production unit led by Robin.
Lainey Wilson: Bell Bottom Country will be available to stream on Hulu on May 29.

Hear a little of Dobie Gray's "Drift Away" on Dustin Lynch and Jelly Roll's new single, "Chevrolet"? Well, that was every bit intentional.
"I guess it's our rendition of 'Drift Away.' Jelly Roll and I got approached to do a remake of that song that's been around forever, with a new lyric over that classic melody," Dustin tells ABC Audio. "We're so honored to be a part of that."
"Our new lyric is 'Chevrolet.' We both drive Chevy trucks, and it's a song that I've lived and continue to love to live," he shares.
While releasing new songs can be nerve-wracking for Dustin, having Jelly on it got him pretty fired up.
"You know, it's always scary putting out new music. When you got a guy on fire like Jelly Roll to put a song out with, that song just raises its hand. It's like, 'OK, yeah, we'll put it out.' And that's doing big things for us," shares Dustin.
"Chevrolet" is currently approaching the top 20 of the country charts. You can find it on Dustin's latest album, Killed the Cowboy, out now.
To see Dustin on his ongoing Killed The Cowboy Tour, visit dustinlynchmusic.com.
