Kelsea Ballerini questions if she ‘missed the mark’ on motherhood in emotional new song

Ryan Brennan | November 11, 2025

A new Kelsea Ballerini song has everyone talking as she questions her future as a mother. 

The 32-year-old country music star released her newest song, “I Sit In Parks,” on all platforms on Nov. 7 — including a music video, which premiered on Nov. 6 and shows her sitting on a swing in a park. 

“I sit in parks / it breaks my heart ‘cause I see just how far I am from the things that I want,” she sings at the beginning of the song. 

As she sings in the video, she’s accompanied by visuals of a family of four enjoying a picnic in the grass. 

"Dad brought the picnic / Mom brought the sunscreen / Two kids are laughing and crying on red swings," she continues. “We look about the same age / but we don’t have same Saturdays.”

In the chorus, Ballerini questions if she “missed the mark” on motherhood and wonders if she made a mistake prioritizing her singing career over fulfilling her other dream. 

“Did I miss it? By now, is it / A lucid dream? Is it my fault / For chasing things a body clock / Doesn't wait for?” she sings in the chorus.

“I did the damn tour / It's what I wanted, what I got / I spun around and then I stopped / And wonder if I missed the mark,” she continues. 

In the second verse, Ballerini wonders if the mother she’s visualizing “wants my freedom like I wanna be a mother” before admitting that she’s “on the right road” to motherhood. 

“So I sit in parks, checkin' bench marks / Tarryn's due in June, the album's due in March,” she concluded after a second chorus. 

At the end of the video, Ballerini realizes that the family she was visualizing wasn’t real — and she was simply on the set of a music video. 

Who is Tarryn in Kelsea Ballerini’s new song?

The closing lyrics of the song had many Ballerini fans wondering the same thing: 

Who is Tarryn? And, perhaps more importantly, is Kelsea Ballerini pregnant? 

Before we get too far ahead of ourselves, Ballerini isn’t pregnant — though the song makes it clear that she wants to be.

While there hasn’t been any confirmation as to who Tarryn is, many fans were quick to relate the lyric to Tarryn Feldman, a celebrity hairstylist and close friend of Ballerini. 

Feldman gave birth to her first child — a boy named Woodrow David Wilkerson — on July 17, though there hasn’t been any indication of a second pregnancy on her part. 

Feldman commented a string of fire emojis under Ballerini’s teaser of her “I Sit In Parks” song.

As for the second part of the closing line — “the album’s due in March” — Ballerini is referring to the deluxe edition of her “Patterns” album, which was released on March 7.

Upon releasing her newest song, she announced that her upcoming album, “Mount Pleasant,” will be released on Nov. 14. 

In addition to “I Sit In Parks,” the album will also include the songs “People Pleaser," "Emerald City," "587," "Revisionist," and "Check on Your Friends."

On Nov. 6, Ballerini took to Instagram to share a snippet of the music video with a brief message.

“Welcome to the park, where daydreaming and crash outs, ‘what a life’ and ‘what now?’, wandering and wondering…are all at play,” she wrote in the caption. “The clock is ticking.”
