Morgan Wallen, who has had his share of run-ins with the law over the last few years, has just shared a heartfelt song about his young son called "Superman."

Morgan posted a clip of the new song to his over eight million followers on his Instagram. He captioned the song clip, "Been trying for a long time to write a song I loved to my son. None of them ever feel good enough because of how perfect I want something like this to be. And not saying this is perfect, but I am very proud of it. Here is a clip, It’s called 'Superman.'”

The words of the song say in part, "One day you're gonna see my mugshot / From a night when I got a little too drunk / Hear a song about a girl that I lost / From the times when I just wouldn't grow up."

A fan reacted to the new music, with one writing, "A beautiful voice and a great man too." Another fan gushed, "Indie will love it in the future."

Wallen shares Indie, born in the summer 2020, with ex-girlfriend Katie Smith. His social media through the years is full of pictures showing their father-son bond.

Wallen has made a rare social media post on Instagram posting a video clip he recorded himself singing a new version of his song "Love Somebody" at a piano in his home.

He says in the video before sitting at the piano, "I'm recording this myself. Trying to figure out what we're gonna play on tour. Probably not gonna play this on tour — not this version anyway. But I like how it sounds. I think it sounds cool."

He tells his fans he hasn't practiced it much before launching into a new version of the song. Morgan captioned the post, "Will not be taking on any more cinematography projects this year as I will be busy doing things I’m hopefully somewhat better at."

Fans reacted in droves to the new version of the song and loved it. One fan gushed, "Sincerely. The best one I’ve heard you do yet." Another die-hard wrote, "Please play this on tour as I'm going to see you in Foxboro in Aug! I love this song and totally relate to it." One more fan said, "Love this version, Morgan!"
