"Dangerous" is a song recorded by American country music singer Morgan Wallen. It was from his second studio album Dangerous: The Double Album.^[1] The song was co-wrote by Wallen and Ernest Keith Smith, and produced by Joey Moi.

Background[edit]

"Dangerous" was inspired by a night he had spent in downtown Nashville, which ended with Wallen being arrested for public intoxication and disorderly conduct outside of Kid Rock's honky-tonk. He said: "I don't wanna go downtown, doing what we used to", he sings on the track. "Twist the top off another round, hell, I got enough loose screws…Think I'm gonna stay right here tonight/ Cause that could be dangerous". So he wanted to write "a warning" to himself.^[2]
