The 29-year-old is calling the project, which includes a 6-song EP and short film, the “next chapter” to her SUBJECT TO CHANGE album. The 15-song album released September 2022, one month after Ballerini made her divorce from Evans public.

"When I listen to ‘SUBJECT TO CHANGE,’ I hear a lot of self-reflection and turmoil, this is the deep dive into that turmoil,” Ballerini said in a statement. “These are six songs I wish I had last year. It's about the complexities of the feelings you go through during a massive shift at a young age.”
The Tennessee native dug deep as she wrote or co-wrote every song on the album and wrote and directed the short film alongside Patrick Tracy.
“’Rolling Up the Welcome Mat’ was how I processed everything,” she said. “It's the way I got my feelings out of my body and heart and put them to music — which is the purest way I could've handled it."
Rolling Up the Welcome Mat tracklist:
1. Mountain With A View
2. Just Married
3. Penthouse
