Kelsea Ballerini seemingly has another project in the works with Fletcher, after joining her on a reimagined spin on one Fletcher’s songs.
Ballerini shared a cryptic teaser on her social media channels on Wednesday (January 4). She’ll star in Better Version (Of Me), alongside Fletcher, actor Ava Capri and artist Gavin Leatherwood. The project was directed by Eva Doležalová. Ballerini and Fletcher didn’t shed much light on Better Version (Of Me), but assured that fans would see it “soon.”
Better Version (Of Me) will closely follow the breakup song, “Better Version.” Ballerini joined Fletcher on a reimagined version of the track that debuted in November, along with Fletcher’s Girl Of My Dreams deluxe album.
“I was there on the side of your stages/ I grew up for our difference in ages/ Never thought we were subject to changes, yeah/ And I did my best to fix it/ ’Til death 'cause then I meant it/ Your next girl is gonna you reinvented and not pretendin’/ Do you think of me when you f*** her?/ Do you use the moves, the ones we learned?/ It's always the next person/ That gets the better version/ 'Cause baby, I loved you at your worst/ And I fixed your heart, but mine still hurts/ And now some other person/ Is gonna get the better version of you.”
Ballerini reflected at the time that Fletcher (a.k.a. Cari), “played me better version in june through my jeep speakers in nashville and i felt my eyes get teary from the sentiment that truly loving someone well means that you give them your best to make them better. months, public life changes, and depth of friendship later she asked me to write my perspective into this perfect masterpiece of a song. we’re all just out here becoming the better versions of ourselves now. so proud to be on this 🤍”
