Morgan Wade is currently on the road touring her latest album, Obsessed, but she’s still finding time to make new music — and her new song is a real heartbreaker.
The country star, 30, dropped “East Coast” on Friday, March 14, after teasing clips of the track via social media. The emotional tune is about the aftermath of a devastating breakup, with lyrics like, “If I’m so selfish / I’ll break my own heart / This pain is relentless / It’ll follow me into the dark.”
Wade’s feelings only get deeper on the chorus: “But I’m gonna drive to the coast / Drown myself in the sea / Hope you know I loved you the most / Yeah, but you took the life outta me.”
The singer-songwriter is on tour right now promoting her fourth studio album, Obsessed, which she released in August 2024. Earlier this year, her famous friend Kyle Richards attended Wade’s concert in Los Angeles, where Wade asked the audience to pray for Teddi Mellencamp. The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills alum, 43, had just revealed that she needed to undergo emergency surgery to remove tumors on her brain caused by melanoma.
“We’re really blessed to have a bunch of people here with me tonight,” Wade told the crowd. “If you don’t mind, tonight when you leave here, say a prayer for my good friend Teddi Mellencamp. I went to visit her a little bit ago.”
The “Halloween” singer noted that Mellencamp would have been in the audience that night if not for her surgery.
Wade appeared on a few episodes of RHOBH during season 13, which aired from late 2023 through spring 2024. During the current season, however, Richards said she didn’t want to use Wade’s name when she wasn’t there to defend herself.

Morgan Wade’s excellent new album, Obsessed, included a surprise for Animals everywhere — a duet with Kesha. Wade, 29, enlisted Kesha, 37, for the heartbreaking ballad “Walked on Water,” which debuted on Friday, August 16. “I fell off the Earth, I fell out of touch / I’m fightin’ every urge to go out and get […]
“I know there’s a lot of curiosity about the person they always talk about,” Richards, 56, said during the November 2024 season 14 premiere. “I’m not using her name intentionally. I don’t want to speak on anyone’s behalf except my own.”
Wade has recently been battling some health issues of her own as she deals with vocal problems. She was forced to cancel her Wednesday, March 12, concert in Cleveland, but she’s set to return to the stage on Friday in New York City.
“I was really hoping to have some better news today. I was really hoping we were going to be able to play tonight, so much so that we are here in Cleveland, but my voice is just not,” Wade told her Instagram followers in a video shared on Wednesday. “It’s not coming back for some reason. I met with the doctor this morning and it’s just not smart, and there’s absolutely no way I could perform and give you guys 100 percent. But I’m truly sorry. I continue to rest today and tomorrow so I can get back on my feet and we’ll make it up to you guys.”
