“The Middle” marks the first time Zedd has collaborated with country singer Maren Morris, but he has teamed up with production duo Grey various times before, on songs such as “Starving” and “Adrenaline.”
Zedd first introduced this song in a one-second teaser snippet on Twitter as his first release...
[Verse 1: Maren Morris]
Take a seat
Right over there, sat on the stairs
Stay or leave
The cabinets are bare, and I'm unaware
Of just how we got into this mess, got so aggressive
I know we meant all good intentions
[Pre-Chorus: Maren Morris]
So pull me closer
Why don't you pull me close?
Why don't you come on over?
I can't just let you go
[Chorus: Maren Morris]
Oh baby, why don't you just meet me in the middle?
I'm losing my mind just a little
So why don't you just meet me in the middle?
In the middle
Baby, why don't you just meet me in the middle?
I'm losing my mind just a little
So why don't you just meet me in the middle?
In the middle
[Verse 2: Maren Morris]
Oh, take a step
Back for a minute, into the kitchen
Floors are wet
And taps are still runnin', dishes are broken
How did we get into this mess? Got so aggressive
I know we meant all good intentions
[Pre-Chorus: Maren Morris]
So pull me closer
Why don't you pull me close?
Why don't you come on over?
I can't just let you go
[Chorus: Maren Morris]
Oh baby, why don't you just meet me in the middle?
I'm losing my mind just a little
So why don't you just meet me in the middle?
In the middle
[Bridge: Maren Morris]
Lookin' at you, I can't lie
Just pourin' out admission
Regardless of my objection, oh, oh
And it's not about my pride
I need you on my skin
Just come over, pull me in, just
[Chorus: Maren Morris]
Oh, baby, why don't you just meet me in the middle?
I'm losing my mind just a little
So why don't you just meet me in the middle?
In the middle, no, no
Baby, why don't you just meet me in the middle?
Oh yeah, I'm losing my mind just a little
So why don't you just meet me in the middle?
Oh, in the middle
Baby-y-y, why don't you just meet me in the middle, baby?
I'm losing my mind just a little
So why don't you just meet me in the middle, middle?
In the middle, middle

Zedd:
We worked really hard on this record to get it just right and it feels great to be able to finally share it with everyone. It was super fun working with Maren because she is clearly an amazing singer and very talented musician. And, I always love working with Grey because we push ourselves t...
Maybe four or five months ago is when we started recording the first singers for ‘The Middle. I don’t remember the exact number, but I’m pretty sure we’re at 14 different singers. And they range everywhere from somebody who uploaded a YouTube video of them singing to A-list superstars. Some of them...
Zedd:
We always thought it’s an amazing and special song. But you never know, sometimes you make a song and you think it’s the greatest thing in the world and nobody likes it.”
Maren Morris:
It’s kind of a gut reaction when you hear something so intrinsically catchy, and in 10 seconds I was like...
In The New York Times series Diary of a Song, the creators, including Sarah Aarons, and Maren Morris explain how “The Middle” came about.
This is the best news to end 2018. I’ve had a really amazing year paired with ‘The Middle.’ I went on tour with Niall Horan, and the crowds in South America were singing ‘The Middle’ back so loud, and that’s when I got it: That song had officially gone around the world, and a song of my own had neve...
