Watch Kelsea Ballerini perform her song "Unapologetically", check out the lyrics and watch the story behind the album release.

Rising Country Music star Kelsea Ballerini released Unapologetically as her second studio album on November 3, 2017.   “’UNAPOLOGETICALLY’ means leading with your heart, trusting it, following it and not letting other people’s opinions sway it,” Kelsea reveals. “From heartbreak to finding the love of my life and embracing the ‘in-between’ – this album is all in order, just like it happened. Life, loss, love… this is my story, unapologetically.”

About the album, Ballerini stated, “I had to let myself be OK with being vulnerable.  My first album, I wanted it to be an introduction, just reaching out my hand. I had a song about my parent’s divorce, about being insecure – it was one song per emotion. In doing that, I wasn’t really able to articulate the depth of those emotions. Now, having gotten older, having gone through a big breakup and having fallen in love in a massive way, I had to say, ‘hey, let yourself feel that, let yourself write that.’ The end product was this record, which is a chronological story of my life these past few years.”

Watch her perform the title song of her latest album and check out the lyrics, album release story, and tour details below.

Unapologetically Lyrics

They’re gonna say I fell too fast
They’re gonna say it’s never gonna last
And before it’s too late, I should just back away
Yeah, they’re gonna say that
He ain’t the kind to hold my hand
He ain’t gonna try to understand
Nothing under the surface
He’s just looking for a pretty face

But they got it all wrong
I got it all right
They say they just don’t see it
But I saw it at first sight

And I’m unapologetically in love
And that’s unapologetically enough
No matter where it takes me
Even if it breaks me
I’m unapologetically all in
From the second that I started falling
And it don’t even phase me
When they call me crazy
I’m unapologetically in love
I’m unapologetically in love

So I could care less if I’m being careless
Might wreck me to be reckless
But I’d rather fall apart than
Love half-hearted
Yeah, maybe it’s true that you know when you know
And then again maybe you don’t
But when you find a diamond
You can’t keep it from shining

And I’m unapologetically in love
And that’s unapologetically enough
No matter where it takes me
Even if it breaks me
I’m unapologetically all in
From the second that I started falling
And it don’t even phase me
When they call me crazy
I’m unapologetically in love
I’m unapologetically in love

The life of my party
He keeps my eyes starry
So I’m so sorry for not being sorry

I’m unapologetically in love
I’m unapologetically in love

I’m unapologetically in love
And that’s unapologetically enough
No matter where it takes me
Even if it breaks me
I’m unapologetically all in
From the second that I started falling
And it don’t even phase me
When they call me crazy
I’m unapologetically in love
I’m unapologetically in love

They’re gonna say I fell too fast
Yeah, they’re gonna say it’s never gonna last
Unapologetically
