About Better Luck Next Time

Kelsea Ballerini chose an R&B-influenced song as her next single release after her appearance on NBC's Songland on Tuesday (June 11). Ballerini has released a song titled "Better Luck Next Time" after choosing it during the competition.

Ballerini said that she was looking for "something different, something that I haven't done before" during the show, according to Yahoo!. In the tradition of the songwriting competition, she was offered four songs from four different contestants, all of whom are aspiring songwriters. The country singer had her pick of a country waltz called "Easy," written by Jess Jecoy; "Crush," by Daniel Feels; and a song called "Lying (Next to You)," which Jack Newsome wrote. She was instantly smitten with "Better Luck Next Time," which Darius Coleman wrote.

Kelsea Nicole Ballerini (born September 12, 1993) is an American country music singer and songwriter. She released her first album The First Time in 2015, and her second album Unapologetically was released on November 3, 2017. She received a nomination for Best New Artist at the 2017 Grammy Awards. Ballerini's two albums have accounted for seven charted songs on the Hot Country Songs and Country Airplay charts. She has four No. 1 singles on the latter, starting with her debut single "Love Me Like You Mean It", which made her the first female artist to send a debut single to the top of that chart since Carrie Underwood in 2006. It was followed by "Dibs" and "Peter Pan", whose peaks also made her the first female country artist to send her first three singles to the top of that chart since Wynonna Judd. Ballerini's fourth No. 1 single is "Legends".
