Wyatt Flores Promises New Music Is Coming Soon, Teases Heartbreaking Unreleased Song, “The Way I Do”

New music coming soon.

As one of the best and brightest stars flying out of Oklahoma in the red dirt scene, it’s hard to point to a more important artist in the genre right now than Wyatt Flores. After breaking out back in 2023 thanks to the continued success of his 2022 platinum single, “Please Don’t Go,” and other viral hits such as “Losing Sleep” and “Break My Bones,” the 24-year-old singer/songwriter stunned everyone upon the release of his debut album, Welcome To The Plains, last October.

The record, which instantly transported you to Flores’ home in Oklahoma, proved to be one of the best releases of the year. Not only did it build upon the patented Red Dirt-inspired sound that he has been curating throughout his career, but it also contained some of the best songwriting moments of the year on stellar tracks such as the heartbreaking “Oh Susannah,” the brooding “Stillwater” and the morbid yet hilarious “When I Die.”

With all of that being said, many (myself included) have been patiently waiting for new music from the “Milwaukee” singer throughout the year — and it looks like he’s got some new tunes ready to be recorded soon.

Taking to social media today, Flores would tease a new song he’s been playing live overseas while opening up for 49 Winchester on their Welcome To The Holler Tour the past month.

Adressing the fact that he hasn’t released any original music yet this year, Flores would tell the unspecified crowd in the video that he’s heard the calls for new music and noted that he’s waiting to wrap up touring for the year before recording new songs.

“I do got some new songs. I haven’t even sang these back in the States. We’ve been having fun trying them out here for y’all. I haven’t released music in over a year now. And now everyone’s starting to be like, ‘You got anything?’ And this is just proof that I do. I just gotta get off tour, so I can go record this sh*t.”

He’d then proceed to share the chorus to the new track, titled “Way I Do,” and it’s another standout.

If there’s one thing that’s certain about Flores and his writing style, it’s that he’s not afraid to go to uncomfortable places. Being a champion of mental health and very public about his struggles, there’s always been a tangible amount of empathy in his music. That remains the same here. Though we only get the chorus in the teaser, it’s clear that Flores is centering the song around loving a person who’s struggling mentally and desperately trying to make them love themselves the way he loves them.

“I know your heart is breaking
There’s nothing left to lose
I promise you can make it
Hell, I’m your living proof
If you loved you the way I do
You wouldn’t be such a damn recluse
Up all night in your room
Wishing you were somewhere new
In a place far away
Where nobody knows your name
And disappear, but I don’t want you to
Wish you loved you the way I do”

As of now, “Way I Do” does not have a release date.
