Kelsea Ballerini’s new viral song, "I Sit in Parks," is haunting. It’s not another breakup anthem or empowerment track. It’s a confession — an elegy for something missing, something she only realized she wanted after the world told her not to want it.

"I sit in parks / It breaks my heart / ’Cause I see just how far I am / From the things that I want."

In just a few lines, she captures the ache of a generation of women who were told to chase freedom, ambition, and self-discovery — but never told what to do when they found themselves alone, wondering if they ran too far from the very things that would have grounded them.

Three years ago, Ballerini divorced her husband, saying she wasn’t sure if she wanted children .
