- Moroney defends writing candid, personal songs.

## Summary

Megan Moroney has addressed speculation that her song “Who Hurt You?” refers to fellow country singer Riley Green, saying she deliberately made the clues obvious for listeners to identify. She said songwriting should be enjoyable rather than treated too seriously, while stressing her willingness to release personal material that may resonate with fans.

The song references Georgia and Alabama, matching Moroney’s birthplace in Savannah and Green’s upbringing in Jacksonville, Alabama, which fuelled the rumours. Green released “POS Like Me” on the day Moroney’s album Cloud 9 arrived, prompting theories it was a response, but he said the timing was coincidental; Moroney said fan reactions encourage her to take creative risks.
