NASHVILLE, TENN. – Fans will “see the world through whiskey glasses” this weekend as Big Loud Records’ wildfire talent MORGAN WALLEN reveals the music video for his brand-new, chart-climbing single. The “Whiskey Glasses” video is set for a world premiere on CMT Hot 20 Countdown this Saturday (9/29).

To celebrate the release, Wallen will take over CMT’s Instagram stories for the day. Follow along here.

Directed by Justin Clough, the clip follows Wallen as he bounces back from heartbreak by throwing down whiskey shots, a spur-of-the-moment haircut and a rowdy performance at the local bar. PEOPLE.com took an exclusive look behind-the-scenes and got Wallen’s first-hand take on bringing his new track to life on camera.

“I think we’ve all been in that situation before where you’re trying to get over somebody and you resort to [drinking],” Wallen says exclusively to PEOPLE. “I connected to it in many ways.”
