Megan Moroney Co-Directs Her Latest Video
Megan Moroney shared the video for her chart-climbing hit single “Am I Okay?” Co-directed by Moroney and Alexandra Gavillet, the wildly hilarious yet deeply touching clip marks the first video from her sophomore album of the same name.
Megan recently told us, “The music video takes you through what love ‘always was’ — a lot of failed attempts at finding the ‘right one’ and reminds you that the ‘right one’ may have been there all along if you look real close.”
Moroney adds, “I loved creating the concept for the video because it portrays what ‘Am I Okay?’ feels like to me— finally meeting the one that makes all the wrong ones feel worth it. And maybe that’s happened or maybe it’s totally made up in my head, I guess we’ll never know!”
After opening on a stunning close-up shot of Moroney and a bouquet of blue flowers, “Am I Okay?” pulls the viewer deep into a world swimming in the album’s signature color — including a dreamlike set-piece that finds her waiting by a blue door in the middle of a field, wearing blue cowboy boots and a gorgeous blue gown straight out of a fairy tale.
Megan scored a number-one song with her first release, a very rare feat. It’s a song she co-wrote, “Tennessee Orange.” What’s even more interesting is that she didn’t start writing songs until just a few years ago. She told us in a recent interview, “Well, I wrote my first song when I was 19. And then I didn’t really start consistently writing until 2020. Usually, when I go into a writer’s room, I bring the idea because we’re writing for me. So other writers usually like the artists to like, kind of know what they want to write about. I try to come up with the ideas, and they’re really based on personal experiences. “
She added, “I think because no one taught me how to write songs. It just is authentic. When I go into a writer’s room. I’m not trying to write the next hit. I’m just writing what is relevant to my life and making it as good as possible. I don’t put pressure on myself when I’m songwriting either, like if I go into the room and we don’t get a good one, I’m like, Oh, well.”
