Kelsea Ballerini released “Two Things” on Friday, the most recent track from her upcoming album, Patterns , out Oct. 25. On the heartache ballad’s chorus, Ballerini sings: “Two things can be true/I’ll love and hate you/I’ll be your best and your worst day/I’ll be your blessing and curse, babe.
” The artist hinted at the track and its upcoming video the day before with a clip showing her looking through a window at the countryside before it cuts to a view of a city skyline. The snippet also hinted at the song’s line, “I love New York City, but I can’t stay at the Carlyle anymore,” and flashed a shot of Ballerini on the steps outside the historic hotel. In August, Ballerini dropped the upcoming LP’s second single, “ Sorry Mom ,” which she said in a statement was about “chasing dreams, walking away from school, losing my virginity, walking away from college.
” The track followed her collaboration with Noah Kahan, “Cowboys Cry Too” — the song released back in June and is also set to appear in Patterns . Her forthcoming project will be Ballerini’s first full-length album since 2022’s Subject to Change and follows her 2023 EP , Rolling Up the Welcome Mat , which earned a Best Country Album nomination at the 2024 Grammy Awards despite its 16-minute run-time.

” When discussing Patterns with The Associated Press , Ballerini said that “people probably expect this really happy-go-lucky, love, mushy, gushy record from me. That’s not the case.” She added, “And I’m really proud of that.
It would have been easy to, I think, just collect the really beautiful parts of my life that I’ve dusted off and found the last couple of years. But that’s not the fullness of my experience.”.
