Kelsea Ballerini is offering fans a taste of her upcoming new EP Mount Pleasant with the reflective new track “I Sit In Parks,” out today (Nov. 7.)

With an accompanying video capturing Ballerini mulling over choices, sacrifices and real-life costs as she sits on a swing in a park, “I Sit In Parks” furthers the artist’s willingness to be vulnerable and open in unpacking her world for her art. Weighing personal desires, the reality of achieving success and wondering about the things her friends are all experiencing, she sings in the track, “I sit in parks, it breaks my heart/ Cause I see just how far I am from the things that I want…”

“I have always made records – whether songs, EPs or albums – to capture a moment in time,” says Ballerini about the upcoming project. “Mount Pleasant is a collection of six songs I’ve written throughout the summer, marking a chapter of heavy self-examination, longing and stepping further into who I am as a 32-year old woman.”

Ballerini recently wrapped her 35-date “Kelsea Ballerini Live On Tour,” at arenas across the country, and is nominated for Female Vocalist of the Year at the upcoming 2025 CMA Awards and Best Contemporary Country Album at the 2026 Grammy Awards.
