Artist: Kelsea Ballerini Single: "IF YOU GO DOWN (I'M GOIN' DOWN TOO)" Writers: Julian Bunetta, Kelsea Ballerini & Shane McAnally Album: SUBJECT TO CHANGELabel: Black River Entertainment Impact Date: December 5, 2022 Audio:
May this still be a tad premature? Yes! But this "Hump It or Dump It" tweet from a radio station pretty much confirms that this is going to be Kelsea's next single, complete with a background that looks like it has to be an official single cover to me based on the font and overall aesthetic vibe matching the rest of the era thus far... Plus, christianlarson9 also noticed it picked up an add yesterday! I'll change the thread title if this ends up not being accurate, but I think this is good enough for now!

The single cover is the same as the one on Spotify.

This should be it as I remember that station tweeted out when "Getting Over Him" by Lauren Alaina and Russell Dickerson "Home Sweet" were gonna be singles with the exact same phrasing.
I do wanna say the line of "Our bodies are buried and they are in the same ditch, so even if I wanted to I can't snitch." is one of my favorite lines ever. Please country radio gods let this be a hit.

If this is indeed the next single, then I'm 100% on board! This song feels like something the Dixie Chicks would have done a great job with back in the day, with a bit of Carly Pearce Production Influence to tie it all together. It sounds so refreshing for Kelsea!!

I adore this song. I was worried it would be left as an album track in favor of Love is a cowboy and muscle memory, so Iβm thrilled itβs most likely going to have a life. I just know the music video will be perfect.

Great choice. The most country sounding song on the album. The video needs to have some shades of Goodbye Earl.

βIβve known you since Brad and Angelinaβ is so good. Rooting for this to be a hit, though I think βMuscle Memoryβ was surefire. Hopefully thatβs next.

It sounds so refreshing for Kelsea!! This sounds so very vintage Dixie Chicks to me as well since the first time I heard it and I am stoked that this is going to be a single! I can't imagine this not being a smash for her and I'm excited to see what they do for the music video because it really lends itself to an epic visual.

Great choice. I was worried that they would go with something slower after HEARTFIRST. Also I wonder if I'm the only one who feels "Everything She Ain't" vibe from this one, especially at the chorus.

Yessss my favorite song from the album! I was instantly hooked and it has not let me go. I love the sass and the countrier instrumentation that this has, I'm rooting for this to become a big hit.

This one reminds me of Shania's music in the best possible way. It's my favourite song on the album!

I saw this title on the home page for Pulse. I haven't heard the song. Is this about mutual oral sex?! (I hope so.)

Can't believe Disco is going around possessing other members of the board now, its 8 days too late to be getting these kind of scares chile. Anyways, just heard this and its solid. I still need to checkout the full album but Heart first and Muscle Memory are among her best so hopefully that's an indication of how the rest of the record is quality wise.

The most country thing sheβs ever done by far being a single? What a welcome surprise. I was thinking itβd be stuck as an album track! Great song.

This is a solid single choice. I personally enjoy βSubject to Changeβ and βI Guess They Call It Fallingβ better, but this is a good choice and probably going to be more successful for her on country radio than either of those.

Even looking at the title I would never really associate it with oral sex. Especially from an artist like Kelsea Ballerini who's music is very safe and family friendly.

Yeah I've definitely heard the comparisons and have been meaning to check the album out but these last 3 months have had so many big albums drop it got lost in the mix for me. Will probably check it out soon enough.

Glad they're pushing this before the year ends since there's not really anything going for adds right now since everyone else is waiting until after the holidays, but giving this one a head start, especially with the way radio has washed its hands of "HEARTFIRST" with a quickness, will be a good move for Kelsea methinks.

Kind of wish this impacted this past Monday, as next Monday is started to get stacked with new releases (Megan, Bailey, Tyler) are all releasing that day as well. Miranda had the same issue with a loaded add day and had an underwhelming start because of so. Hope that doesnβt happen for this one.

Which is a shame because I like this the most out of the songs impacting on Monday (seriously though I didn't remember an adds day in December that is this crowded).
20-something adds should be good enough for her.

Eh, I am not too worried. Radio has always loved Kelsea Ballerini on add date and even with it being crowded I am not too concerned. With the exception of the Halsey duet, I feel like all of Kelsea Ballerini singles have done pretty well on add date.

I'm not super worried about it either, I bet she'll be getting a nice trickle of adds after it into the new year as well. Granted she was the first one to announce the December 5th adds date out of all of them so it's everyone else that should back off ;)

I feel like this song would be a great Tik Tok sound -- someone get your favorite influencer to make this go viral! Kelsea deserves!!!
