"The Way I Talk" served as the lead single off Wallen's debut studio album, If I Know Me. The song was written by Jessi Alexander, Ben Hayslip and Chase McGill and arrived Sept. 12, 2016, essentially launching Wallen's career.

In a recent appearance on Bobby Bones' podcast "BobbyCast," Luke Bryan shared that he "stupidly" passed on the song "Sand in My Boots," which eventually went on to become a hit for Morgan Wallen.

I just went through two years of my life where I was like, man, I sing about trucks a lot. I sing about tailgates, and I think I got in my head a little bit,' he said.
