The “6 Months Later” singer also opened up about how “being honest” in her songwriting is what has helped her career.

“I never gave people the opportunity to speculate on who [a song] it’s about stopping myself from writing about how this situation made me feel,” Moroney says.

She remembers being “honestly shocked” when she said it was Wallen’s shirt.

“I’m not the type of person who likes to talk about things like that,” Moroney said at the time. “All my songs are about people. ‘Tennessee Orange’ is a beautiful song, but if I told people who it was about, then they would ask me who ‘Sleep on My Side’ was about. I can’t tell you because it’s not a beautiful song!”

During an appearance on Call her daddy In July 2024, Moroney 26 revealed that something romantic happened between her and Wallen, but they never dated “exclusively.”

“I’ve tried to avoid that in every interview I’ve done. But we’re here now and time has passed and everything is fine,” she said.

When asked if “Tennessee Orange” was about Wallen, Moroney replied, “I’ll never say who I sing my songs about.”
