John Morgan just added a new personal milestone to a resume already full of hits written for other artists.
Morgan’s new single, “Kid Myself,” debuted on this week’s Billboard Hot 100 at No. 96, his first-ever entry on the chart as a recording artist, rather than as the writer behind someone else’s hit. It’s a full-circle moment for Morgan, who spent years building a reputation in Nashville as one of the industry’s most in-demand songwriters before stepping into the spotlight himself.
Morgan, a North Carolina native who grew up playing bluegrass festivals in his family’s band, first broke through in Music City after driving for Uber to make ends meet while chasing a songwriting career. That persistence paid off when Jason Aldean began cutting his songs, eventually recording 16 of Morgan’s compositions, including “Trouble with a Heartbreak” and “Whiskey Drink.” His biggest co-write came with “If I Didn’t Love You,” Aldean’s 2021 duet with Carrie Underwood, which topped Billboard’s Country Airplay chart, earned a Grammy nomination, and won the Academy of Country Music’s Single of the Year.
The song also made history on the charts in its own right, notching the highest-ever debut for a duet between a solo male and female artist on Billboard’s Hot Country Songs chart, where it opened at No. 2. It went on to earn Platinum certification from the RIAA and spent three separate weeks at No. 1 on Country Airplay, becoming Aldean’s 24th career leader on that chart and extending Underwood’s record as the female artist with the most Country Airplay No. 1s in history.
Morgan has since built his own career as an artist, signing to Aldean’s Night Train Records imprint and releasing his debut EP, “Remember Us?,” in 2023. His first single as a lead artist, “Friends Like That,” featuring Aldean, also reached No. 1 at country radio, giving Morgan his first chart-topper as a performer rather than just a writer.
