Mount Pleasant (EP)

In November 2025, Ballerini began teasing new music through a short video posted on her social media accounts. The clip featured her sitting on a swingset in a park, accompanied by the caption "I Sit In Parks" which led fans to speculate about an upcoming release, titled Mount Pleasant.^[1] Discussing the project, Ballerini stated, "I have always made records – whether songs, EPs or albums – to capture a moment in time. Mount Pleasant is a collection of six songs I've written throughout the summer, marking a chapter of heavy self-examination, longing and stepping further into who I am as a 32-year-old woman."^[2]

The project follows her 2024 album Patterns, which became her first to debut at number one on Billboard's Top Country Albums chart.^[1]

Ballerini teased Mount Pleasant on November 6, 2025, via her social media with a track list consisting of six songs.^[1][3]
