Megan Moroney will release the music video for “Wish I Didn’t”, starring Dylan Efron, this Friday. The clip comes as a fresh preview from her upcoming album Cloud 9. Fans have been waiting for visuals since she teased the song last week. It drops on January 17, giving everyone a look at the track’s story on screen.
“Wish I Didn’t” is track 13 on Cloud 9. The full album arrives February 20. It includes her recent hits like “6 Months Later” and “Beautiful Things”. The song features co-writes from Emily Weisband, Hillary Lindsey, and Luke Laird. A short preview shows Moroney singing lines about a guy with a bad reputation.
She warns him not to make her regret getting dressed up for the night. The chorus hits with “Don’t make me wish I didn’t get dressed up.” It feels like a mix of caution and attraction. Many think it ties to her own dating life. She has kept things private, but songs like this spark talk.
Dylan Efron stars in the video. He is Zac Efron’s younger brother. Dylan has built his own path as a producer and reality TV personality. He won The Traitors in 2025 and competed on Dancing with the Stars.
He also runs a YouTube series called Everything’s a Competition with Boston Rob Mariano. This marks his first big music video role. Pairing him with Moroney adds buzz. Their chemistry could bring extra attention to the song.
The album rollout has kept fans excited. Moroney shared the tracklist in a fun video where song titles appear in skywriting behind a plane. She wears a pink flight suit.
Cloud 9 includes big features too. Ed Sheeran joins on “I Only Miss You”. Kacey Musgraves appears on “Bells & Whistles”. Other songs like “Wedding Dress” and “Table for Two” show her growth as a writer and co-producer.
Moroney broke out a few years back with “Tennessee Orange”. That song went viral and platinum. Her second album, Am I Okay?, did well too. Now Cloud 9 looks like her biggest yet. She has a tour planned for May. It includes 49 dates across several countries. The U.S. leg has already sold over 450,000 tickets.
Fans have followed her closely. Some songs draw from real heartbreak. “Wish I Didn’t” fits that style. It warns about a risky romance while showing vulnerability. The lyrics mention a “graveyard of girls” and making it rain if things go bad. That gives it an edge. The video with Dylan Efron should bring the words to life. People wonder if it plays on the reputation theme.
No full lyrics are out yet since the song releases soon. But the preview has people guessing who inspired it. Moroney stays focused on the music. She calls her style “professional emo cowgirl”. That sums up her honest, emotional take on the country.
This Friday drop adds to her momentum. Country radio has picked up her previews. Streams keep rising. The video could push “Wish I Didn’t” higher. Fans plan to watch right away. Some already talk about reactions online.
Cloud 9 seems set to be a strong chapter. With features from big names and personal stories, it builds on what she does best. The “Wish I Didn’t” video starring Dylan Efron gives it a fresh twist. Check it out this Friday. It might answer some questions or start new ones about her life.
