Kelsea Ballerini is adding five new songs to the tracklist of her Patterns album.
The singer announced on Thursday morning (Feb. 27) that she’s issuing a deluxe version of the project, which will include the fan-favorite “To the Men That Love Women After Heartbreak,” a song that has featured in her live set and was previously available as a digital exclusive download on Patterns.
“It just so happens I wasn’t done unpacking,” Ballerini wrote when she shared the news, referencing one of her most popular Patterns songs, “Baggage.”
Themes of luggage, baggage, packing and unpacking have been a big part of Ballerini’s current album cycle. The album’s cover art was a photo of the singer on a beach at either sunrise or sunset, sitting on top of a massive pile of suitcases.
The album cover for the deluxe version looks like it might have been taken during the same photo shoot, but no baggage here: Instead, Ballerini’s mid-air in a jump as she walks alone along the beach, no baggage — literal or emotional — in sight.
Ballerini’s Patterns came out last October, and she’s currently promoting the project with a tour. The deluxe version will arrive on March 7.
