Morgan Wallen may have been tasked to reimagine “Neon Moon,” but delivering a completely different version from Brooks & Dunn‘s original wasn’t up his alley.
“It’s a little bit intimidating and challenging and, for me, I don’t want to stray too far from what I consider something that’s perfect,” Morgan shares in a behind-the-scenes clip. “We added a little bit of a flavor to it, but it still keeps a lot of the OG too.”
The “Last Night” singer also recounted his longtime familiarity with the duo’s songs.
“Pretty much whatever vehicle I got into as a kid was blaring, blaring their music,” he said.
The short video also included a snippet of Morgan’s version, which you’ll find on Brooks & Dunn’s star-studded 18-track REBOOT II, out Nov. 15.
