Maren Morris and Ex-Husband Ryan Hurd Both Set to Release New Music on the Same Day After Divorce

Maren Morris and Ryan Hurd are gearing up for new musical releases after their split.

This week, Morris and Hurd revealed they will each release new singles on Friday, Oct. 25.

Morris, 34, announced her song "People Still Show Up" on Instagram Tuesday, Oct. 22 by sharing what appears to be the single's cover art.

The day before Hurd, 37, announced his new single with a photo of himself holding a cardboard sign that reads "this party sucks" on Instagram. In the next slide, the cardboard sign reads "out Friday."

He said in a follow-up post that the song's video will also be out Friday.

"AND THE NEWS KEEPS COMING: THIS PARTY SUCKS video out Friday. If you watch the whole thing you get 3 years of good luck and I’ll buy you a beer next time you see me out. 🍻," he wrote in the caption.

Hurd and Morris' divorce was finalized in January, three months after Morris filed citing "irreconcilable differences." They were married for five years and share 4-year-old son Hayes.

Speaking to PEOPLE in August, Morris shared that though she does draw inspiration from their divorce, her focus remains on their child.

“I never want to disparage or feel the need to, because I think that we both have so much love for each other and our son, so anything musically that’s coming out is our points of view, and we need to process in our own ways,” she said. “This is my turn. I am just moving on in the ways I know I can.”

Still, she admitted that while there is no regret, singing songs inspired by her ex could sting.

"There's obviously a space to exist for songs that you wrote about a love of your life," Morris continued. "In some ways, I don't want to say I go into autopilot for songs like that to not feel the pain, but it is what it is. Those are songs that are meaningful and are meaningful to people, so that's such a gift."

On her EP Intermission, which she dropped on Aug. 2, Morris explored how she got through the divorce and moved on.

“This feels like an amazing journey of discovery,” she told PEOPLE, adding, “and also the heartbreak of the death of a relationship and what fun and joy you find in the aftermath of a trauma or a tragedy like that.”

During an appearance on Dax Shepard's Armchair Expert podcast on Sept. 25, she opened up about writing "This Is How a Woman Leaves." At first, she was "nervous" people would get the wrong idea. And though she has written songs about "people that scorned me," Hurd isn't one of them.

"But at the end of the day, I can't control people's perceptions of the song that they're hearing of mine. With ['This Is How a Woman Leaves'], I could just picture a healing that would happen live," she said.

She continued, "If I'm writing the song and I can already envision it live and just crying with strangers, when I go to shows and I'm just a patron in the crowd, the most special thing is just bonding with a bunch of strangers."
