"Somewhere over the rainbow way up high / There's a land that I heard of once in a lullaby / Somewhere over the rainbow skies are blue / And the dreams that you dare to dream really do come true," she sings in the clip.
Along with the clip, Ballerini wrote, "when I was a little girl, this song always brought me peace when life felt uneasy and calmed my anxiety. still works."
Fans chimed in with lighthearted responses, "#GLINDAAPPROVED", to more serious responses, "Funny because right now I'm literally listening to your album to calm my anxiety". Another added "This song. Thank you for being such a light and sharing your gift when the world feels so dark."
