Singer-songwriter Connor Morrison is proud to announce the release of his newest single, “Why Aren’t You There Yet?”—arriving on all platforms July 18th, 2025. A bold, emotional anthem that blends urgency with introspection, the track explores the timeless question: Am I running out of time, or just getting started?
Originally written nearly a decade ago and recently reimagined, Why Aren’t You There Yet? channels the existential reckoning of young adulthood. Morrison began writing the song after the sudden loss of his grandfather, which prompted an early confrontation with mortality, purpose, and legacy. Over a backdrop of driving rhythms, pounding piano, and lyrical grit, the track captures the feeling of wanting to “become” something—before knowing exactly what that means.
“This is a song about feeling stuck, like you’re watching your life unfold in real time but unsure if you’re in the right story,” Morrison says. “It’s about chasing the version of yourself you hoped you’d be—and learning not to wait for life to happen.”
From its reflective verses to its explosive, full-band chorus, Why Aren’t You There Yet? feels both intimate and anthemic—perfect for fans of Billy Joel, Ben Folds, and Andrew McMahon. It’s a song for anyone who’s ever wondered if they’re behind, or exactly where they’re supposed to be.
Known for his vibrant stage presence and cinematic piano-rock sound, Morrison continues to build momentum as a solo artist following years of work with folk-rock duo The Meanderings. Based in the San Francisco Bay Area, he’s steadily grown his presence across platforms like TikTok and Instagram, where he’s teased this song’s evolution to fans over the past few months.
With themes of loss, growth, and reinvention, Why Aren’t You There Yet? is a call to action for anyone still becoming who they are.
Why Aren’t You There Yet? will be available on July 18th, 2025, on all streaming platforms.
