<p class="wp-block-paragraph">&#8220;I&#8217;m singing a song called &#8216;Leave Me Again&#8217; which is the last song on <em>Rolling Up the Welcome Mat</em>,&#8221; she shares with Taste of Country backstage at the <a title="CMA Awards" href="https://countrymusicontour.com/cma-awards-tickets-pre-sale-starts-now/">CMA Awards</a>. &#8220;The whole record is like a journey — it&#8217;s like an emotional journey — and the ending, &#8216;Leave Me Again,&#8217; is like the song that&#8217;s resolution. It&#8217;s closure and it&#8217;s peace. And that&#8217;s where I&#8217;m at in my life now. It&#8217;s where I&#8217;ve been for quite awhile.&#8221;</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">&#8220;I&#8217;m really excited to end this year and this chapter of music with that. It feels very — like a full circle — and like we can close the door on it and do it well,&#8221; she adds.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Ballerini&#8217;s EP takes a deep dive into her divorce from fellow singer Morgan Evans after five years of marriage. Each track is a raw telling of her perspective throughout the dissolution of the couple&#8217;s relationship.</p>
