After resounding success on her first two singles, #1-reaching “Love Me Like You Mean It” and “Dibs,” Kelsea Ballerini is back with a stronger, deeper version of her bright artistry. “Peter Pan,” co-written by Ballerini, Jesse Lee, and Forest Whitehead tells the story that women know all too well, of a man that refuses to grow up.
“Always gonna’ fly away just because you know you can / Never gonna learn there’s no such place as Neverland / You don’t understand / You’ll never grow up / You’re never gonna be a man / Peter Pan,” Ballerini said.
As our writer Hope Scott said in May of last year when the song was released as a promo single, “Musically it’s strong, lyrically it’s next level, a common theme throughout her previously released work. The parallels between with the Peter Pan we all grew up watching are ever present, and the word play will bring that English teacher right back from the grave.”
The perfect choice for her third single, Ballerini will no doubt have another hit on her hands; however, this time she takes her fans to a deeper emotional level. The pop country production, in sync with her previous singles, showcases that she realizes what she is doing is working and she will continue to shine.
