Ballerini’s forthcoming track “How Do I Do This” may shed new light on their romance and “bring the story more up to date,” she teased in her Instagram post.
“‘It’s kinda scary opening a wound that time has mended’…but this unexplainably transformative welcome mat had one last bit of rolling up to do,” she added, explaining why she decided to release a new version of her EP. “it’s most important that i articulate that this re-release is for you and you only.”
Released Feb. 14, Rolling Up the Welcome Mat gave a glimpse into Ballerini’s split from Evans and how she was coping at the time.
On “Penthouse,” she sang about “playing home” in their apartment: “We played the part five nights, but we were never there on the weekends, baby / We got along real nice, but when I left town, did you hate me?”
