We’re not afraid to say that Rolling Out The Welcome Mat (For Good) is one of the best EP’s we’ve ever heard. We know that it had to have been a lot for Kelsea Ballerini to write, but we have to say, that her writing it, well that it helped a lot of people.
While we all can’t relate to the feelings and the emotions, as well as everything that she went through, we all have our own endings. Our way of dealing with emotions.
Though we loved the original Rolling Up The Welcome Mat, we were so happy that Kelsea decided to revisit it and expand upon it, because it was definitely something that we needed more of.
“I thought when Alysa and I were making Rolling Up The Welcome Mat, it was something I would release and never revisit,” Kelsea said previously in a press release. “I wasn’t sure what was going to happen, and that wasn’t the point of the music. Now, in hindsight and with a full heart, I want all those people who came alongside me and supported this album to know that I will never be able to fully express my gratitude, but (For Good) is my best attempt.”
And while we don’t think that she doesn’t own anyone anything (including thank you’s), we’re definitely appreciative that she did. Kelsea has always shown an appreciation for her fans.
She also said previously in a release, “And I also want them to know: we move on. The best part of Rolling Up The Welcome Mat (For Good) is knowing I don’t need to talk about this stuff anymore. My whole life is ahead of me, so this expanded version is to let people know there’s real freedom in breaking down, in facing the emotions because it gets you to where your life can really shine.”
We absolutely loved that. And we love the song that she added to the EP when she released Rolling Up The Welcome Mat (For Good). How Do I Do This (The Final Chapter) inspires us all to move forward, to believe that we can and will be able to love again.
Ballerini released the music video for the song and we’re obsessed. See it below –
