The Kacey Musgraves Simple Times song and music video was for her September 10 released album star-crossed. The music video is clipped directly from the Musgraves-starring star-crossed film that is directed by Bardia Zeinali. The film will be streamed exclusively via Paramount+.
The film is a collaboration between Musgraves, Zeinali, and Academy Award-nominated cinematographer Matthew Libatique (A Star Is Born, Black Swan). “We wanted it to feel cinematic and epic without compromising the heart and the emotion,” Zeinali says, “to feel fantastical and heightened and tell her story through the lens of art and fashion.” It was filmed over a ten day period in Los Angeles and features cameos from Emmy Award-winner Eugene Levy, Victoria Pedretti (Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, You), singer-songwriter Princess Nokia, Symone (RuPaul’s Drag Race winner), and comedian Megan Stalter.

Kacey Musgraves Simple Times Lyrics
Every day felt like Friday
Walking to the 7-Eleven
Me and all of my best friends
We were always together
I remember talking on the phone all night
Didn’t know it was a simple time
Wish that I could put this game on pause
Skip this round, take the headset off
Put my lip gloss on
Kick it at the mall like there’s nothing wrong
I need to step away
If I don’t, I’m gonna go insane
‘Cause being grown up kind of sucks
And I’m really just missing the simple times, uh huh
I think I’m going off of the deep end
I wanna wake up on an island
Throw everybody a peace sign
Put all the static on silent
We could stay up all night
Pour one out for the simple times
Wish that I could put this game on pause
Skip this round, take the headset off
Put my lip gloss on
Kick it at the mall like there’s nothing wrong
I need to step away
And if I don’t, I’m gonna go insane
‘Cause being grown up kind of sucks
And I’m really just missing the simple times, uh huh
There’s nothing really going on
But I heard about a rager
I won’t be waiting by the phone
So you can hit me on the pager
Wish that I could put this game on pause
Skip this round, take the headset off
Put my high-tops on
Kick it at the mall like there’s nothing wrong
I need to step away
If I don’t, I’m gonna go insane
‘Cause being grown up kind of sucks
And I’m really just missing the simple times, uh huh
Oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, yeah
