The Personal Significance Behind "Superman"

"Been trying for a long time to write a song I loved to my son," Wallen wrote in his Instagram caption. "None of them ever feel good enough because of how perfect I want something like this to be. And not saying this is perfect, but I am very proud of it. Here is a clip, it’s called ‘Superman."

A Raw Reflection on Past Struggles
In Superman, Wallen reflects on his past mistakes and the challenges he has faced. His raw, honest lyrics shed light on his personal struggles, including the headlines fans have seen over the years.
"One day you’re gonna see my mugshot / From a night when I got a little too drunk / Hear a song about a girl that I lost / From the times when I just wouldn’t grow up."
"And when you ain’t a kid no more / I hope you don’t think less of me / I tried to hide my fallen sword / But you’re gonna see."
"Now and then that bottle’s my kryptonite / Brings the man of steel down to his knees / Don’t always know my wrong from right / Sometimes I’m my own worst enemy / No, I don’t always save the day / But you know for you, I’ll always try / I do the best I can but / Superman’s still just a man sometimes."
