"Sunrise Tells the Story" is a song recorded by American country music band Midland. It was first included on their extended play The Last Resort and was released on January 21, 2021, as the lead single from their third studio album The Last Resort: Greetings From.[1] The track was written by Midland's rhythm guitarist Jess Carson alongside songwriters Jessi Alexander and Aaron Raitiere. Lyrically, the song centers on a man wondering whether a one-night stand may lead to something more.[2]
Discussing the creation of the song with Billboard, Carson explained "that was a title that Jessi had. I remember her saying she felt it could be a song about waking up after a party when maybe you’re hung over. I thought it could tell a little more of a serious story that was more open-ended. Maybe they end up married, you don't know."[3]
