Breaking Down Megan Moroney’s Horrifying List Of Red Flags In The “6 Months Later” Music Video

She’s so right.

This morning, Megan Moroney released the music video for her most recent single “6 Months Later,” which is a total summer jam and recently debuted at #30 on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 chart (which encompasses all musical genres), making it the highest debut of her career thus far.

The song itself has an extremely catchy melody and all-too-relatable lyrics that finds her detailing how a relationship went sideways… though the guy keeps popping back up every now and then when she’s just about over it… classic.

Written by Moroney with Ben Williams, David “Messy” Mescon, and Rob Hatch, like many of her songs, “6 Months Later” focuses on heartbreak and how she’s coping in the wake of a breakup, and obviously I’m biased, but her lines in the bridge about how she only got stronger, blonder and hotter go so hard:

“What doesn’t kill you
Makes you stronger and blonder and hotter
Makes you wonder what you even saw in him at all
What doesn’t kill you always calls
(Oh, sorry, I think you have the wrong number?)

With a ‘Hey Meg, I think I want you back
I’m a couple drinks in thinkin’ it’s my bad 
That I let you walk away and let you go
It’s the tale as old as time, I guess 
When you couldn’t care more, I couldn’t care less
You’re a little too late to the party, heartbreaker
What doesn’t kill you calls you six months later”

Though there’s nothing official out there yet, “6 Months Later” likely set her up for a big lead-up into MM3, which appears will have a new signature color and be purple coded and very pastel. She’s already said they’re almost finished with it, and it’s already off to a hot start with what will likely be a huge hit. And a huge hit needs an equally great music video to go along with it today, and Megan certainly delivered on that front.

The video for this song features all of Meg’s friends working at a call center for the “Karma Hotline,” and it shows Meg calling in after a breakup (talking to herself as a different character on the other line), and getting revenge on her ex by making sure he gets spoiled milk, runs into piles of trash and more good stuff like that. The look of it is so late 90’s and early 2000’s, which makes it feel nostalgic (I feel old typing that), and visually, it’s all so pretty and perfectly fits her girly, colorful aesthetic.

But possibly my favorite detail in the video is the “file” they have on Noah, the ex (who you might know from her other song with his name in the title), and his dating history. It includes all of his ex-girlfriends, his “job” and other things of that nature, but the list of red flags is SO real. From the fact that he takes “excessive mirror selfies” (gross), to his “curated photo dumps” (even more gross), to his late night “U up?” texts and tendencies to tell lies and stay out at the bar almost every night of the week, she pretty much painted the picture of every girls worst nightmare.

Here’s the full list, but fair warning you might feel nauseous upon reading:

-Love bomber

Gross…

-Gaslighter

-Testosterone abuser

Roid rage? Can’t imagine any dude in Moroney’s dating pool should be taking testosterone… big red flag. What are you training for? A shirtless selfie in the mirror? And speaking of…

-Excessive mirror selfies

The keyword here is “excessive,” and by that we mean… more than zero. One mirror selfie is excessive fellas, consider yourself informed.

-Emotional depth of a baking sheet

So you’re basically a toddler?

-Curated photo dumps

Not the biggest red flag in the world, but any obsession with social media isn’t a good look for a grown man. Share your photos, maybe even a photo dump from a vacation or whatever… but Instagram isn’t real life. Let’s all remember that.

-“U up?”

Bro…

-At the bar 6 days a week

You might be an alcoholic…

-Navy sheets

What are you, 12 years old?

-Self-centered

-Mom didn’t approve

Mom knows best…

-Pathological liar

He’s clearly a walking disaster, no matter how cute, but that’s all a lot easier to dissect once it’s in the past, and if you know, you know and I feel like the list really said it all. If reading it made you cringe a little bit and brought you back to a bad place, my sincerest apologies.

You can read them all below, and the screen grab also features Noah’s “height” and “real height,” which I found particularly funny…

The video is super cute, and Meg clearly has another hit on her hands.
