Kelsea Ballerini Launches ‘Mount Pleasant’ Era With New Single ‘I Sit in Parks’

A reflective track ushers in a six-song EP centered on self-examination.

Overview

  • The single and its video arrived Nov. 7, introducing an intimate narrative set on a park swing with daydream scenes that resolve on a video set.
  • Mount Pleasant is due Nov. 14 with six tracks: “I Sit in Parks,” “People Pleaser,” “Emerald City,” “587,” “The Revisionist” and “Check on Your Friends.”
  • The lyrics question whether pursuing a music career cost her the chance to become a mother, echoing themes of longing and life choices.
  • It is her first brand-new release since a representative confirmed her September split from actor Chase Stokes.
  • The project follows 2024’s Patterns, her first No. 1 on Top Country Albums, and People reports a new 2026 Grammy nomination for that album.
