It was a random Thursday night in Nashville, and a normal songwriters round at the downtown Listening Room Café that included Jimmy Robbins, who has written such big songs as Blake Shelton’s “Sure Be Cool If You Did,” Keith Urban and Miranda Lambert’s “We Were Us” and Maren Morris’ “I Could Use A Love Song,” among many, many others. And Jimmy invited a friend and co-writer on stage to join him on their joint effort…. And the friend was Kelsea Ballerini.

She tells the story about the background of the song, and the pressure she’d been putting on herself to make it look like her life was perfect, and the realization that the world wouldn’t end if her life looked like everyone else’s, and that sometimes that means it’s not all great.

And then she did the song, “homecoming queen?” Watch here.
