Maren Morris Unveils New Song “Welcome to the End” to Uplift LGBTQ+ Youth
So here's something powerful and important happening in music right now: Maren Morris, the bold and ever-evolving artist who’s never been afraid to speak her truth, has just dropped a new track called “Welcome to the End” — and it’s not just any release. This song is part of a special benefit compilation by the All Things Go music festival, and all proceeds from it will go to support LGBTQ+ youth through The Ally Coalition.

Produced by the legendary Jack Antonoff, Welcome to the End is deeply personal and resonates on multiple levels. According to Morris, the song is about the mental and emotional toll that comes with chasing your dreams. It’s raw, it’s real, and it’s not dressed up with glitter — which, honestly, makes it hit even harder. “It’s not a straight or pretty path to get there, but your own resilience can surprise you,” she explained. That sentiment shines through in the lyrics, especially in the line: “Welcome to the end where you can come and lose some friends / We need your words, we need your brain / We can pay you for your pain.” There’s poetry in the pain, and Morris delivers it with such emotional clarity that you can’t help but feel seen.
What makes this even more special is that the song is helping fund a groundbreaking initiative by The Ally Coalition — one that aims to install recording studios in LGBTQ+ youth shelters. Think about that for a second. This is more than music; it’s about giving marginalized young people the tools to tell their stories, explore their identities, and heal through creativity. It’s access, it’s empowerment, and it’s the kind of project that can change lives.
This isn’t the first release from the compilation. Earlier, we got Jesus and John Wayne from Googly Eyes, Joy Oladokun, and Allison Ponthier — another raw and beautifully queer track that highlights how far the country and folk scene has come in terms of embracing diverse voices. And there’s more to come, with artists like Kesha, Orville Peck, Hudson Mohawke, and Maude Latour all lending their talents to this incredible cause.
Maren Morris herself is in a unique place right now. Once deeply rooted in the country music scene, she’s made headlines for walking away from that world due to its often rigid, conservative culture. And here she is, proving yet again that her music and her activism go hand in hand. She’s using her platform not just to entertain but to fight for something bigger than herself — and that’s something we should all be talking about.
You can stream Welcome to the End now, and for those of you who love vinyl, a limited-edition pressing is also in the works. So, if you want to support LGBTQ+ youth and hear some of the most emotionally honest music being made right now, this is your moment. Keep an eye out for the full compilation this fall — it’s shaping up to be a landmark release that brings together artistry, advocacy, and unapologetic queer joy.
