Written by Morgan, Tyler Hubbard and Jordan Schmidt, the song is Morgan’s second Country Airplay entry, following “Friends Like That” (featuring Jason Aldean), which hit No. 2 in April 2025. The 66-week climb to No. 1 for “Kid Myself” is the second-longest in the chart’s 36-year history, after Justin Moore’s aptly titled “Time’s Ticking” (67 weeks, 2025-26).
The runs reflect a broader shift in the format. No. 1s reached the top in an average 12 weeks in the 1990s, compared with 19 in the 2000s, 24 in the ‘10s and 32 so far in the ‘20s. The longest trips to No. 1 have stretched as well, from highs of 27 weeks in the ’90s to 41 in the ‘00s, 51 in the ‘10s and 67 this decade.
Morgan, raised in Sylva, N.C., grew up playing bluegrass festivals with his family before establishing himself in Nashville as a songwriter. He has cowritten eight Country Airplay entries recorded by Aldean, including the No. 1s “If I Didn’t Love You” (with Carrie Underwood) and “Trouble with a Heartbreak.” Morgan’s debut album, Carolina Blue, arrived last year.
