Kelsea Ballerini has released R&B-influenced single, "Better Luck Next Time," after choosing the track on NBC's new songwriting competition "Songland," which gives up-and-coming songwriters the chance to have their music released by a top star.
"Better Luck Next Time" was written by Darius Coleman, who has been writing songs for nearly a decade.
Ballerini, who recently scored her fifth No. 1 hit with "Miss Me More," is the first country star to appear on "Songland's" debut season.
"I picked 'Better Luck Next Time' because it's something that I definitely haven't done before. Melodically, it feels challenging and interesting and intricate, and those are all things that just made my ear perk up," Ballerini said.
