The introspective words took on a special meaning for Ballerini when she dedicated it to her late grandmother, describing the little things that made up exactly who the woman was in her true self.
“My mother’s mother / God, she was stubborn / yeah, maybe that’s where I got it from / steady and stoic / she didn’t show it / when there was a mess, it was swept under the rug,” Ballerini sings.
The message behind her lyrics could relate to a number of people’s kindred relationships and fans jumped right behind the “Dibs” singer by sending their condolences. Some even commented on the post with their own personal stories about their relatives, comforting Ballerini in her somber time of need.
Currently, Ballerini is focusing on her latest single to radio, “I Hate Love Songs,” which can be heard on streaming services now.
