LYRICS:
They say to get out with the old
You get in with the new
And I haven’t been on a date since I was 22
My friend has a friend
And they say they’re my type
And then they texted me once
And then they texted me twice
Saying, “Are you free Saturday? I know a spot”
So, I typed out a couple million ways to respond
But I landed with, “Yes”
Shit, so where the hell is my dress?
Doing last looks in the mirror
Tell myself, “I got this”
I got this
But I’m back at the begin again-ing now
So, if I’m honest
I’m scared of looking stupid
Said I, I’m ready
Now I gotta prove it
Got a little black dress
I wanna use it
And maybe lose it
On a floor that ain’t mine
I think it’s probably time to keep it moving
I talk a big game that I’m scared of losing
Everything I knew about love is ruined
It’s so confusing
So, how do, how do I do this?
I wonder if they’ll ask if I’m still feeling blue
And will they bring up the elephant in the room?
Yeah, what if they lean in at the end of the night?
What if it’s feeling right?
What if it’s too good to be true?
I’m scared of looking stupid
Said I, I’m ready
Now I gotta prove it
Got a little black dress
I wanna use it
And maybe lose it
On a floor that ain’t mine
I think it’s probably time to keep it moving
I talk a big game that I’m scared of losing
Everything I knew about love is ruined
It’s so confusing
So, how do, how do I do this?
Said they’d pick me up at 7
It’s 6:52
And I know who I am
But what the fuck do I do?
I’m scared of looking stupid
Said I, I’m ready
Now I gotta prove it
Got a little black dress
I wanna use it
And maybe lose it
On a floor that ain’t mine
I think it’s probably time to keep it moving
I talk a big game that I’m scared of losing
Everything I knew about love is ruined
It’s so confusing
So, how do, how do I do this?
I’m calling Kelly for a talk
Like is it wrong to take a shot?
I’m freaking out like, “Oh my God”
‘Cause now it’s 7 on the dot

-
I’ve danced around my living room with this song blasting since it came out because this is EXACTLY what my year has been like, too! THANK YOU for putting stories into words into music into inspiration!!! Forever a fan!!
-
I love that the dresses are Subject to Change colors! 🩵💛
-
This whole Kelsea era has got me through a break up and not feeling ashamed to move on after being unhappy with the wrong person for so long.
-
I’m so proud of this chapter, and how it’s ended. You’re growth is so inspiring and so powerful. I love you so much KB ❤
-
As someone who just got out of a 3 year relationship, (i was 19 when it started, it ended at 23). This song touched me in a way that I can never put into words. Thank you Kelsea, you are truly inspiring and amazing.
-
So I paused like 15X, so excited, not wanting it to end, Kelsea this is sooooooo relatable and we love you
-
She's just a great song writer, she knows how to connect with us her songs fits in every mood every situation your into
-
this year I thought I found the guy I was going to spend the rest of my life with.. but y'know when you make plans the universe laughs, and it didnt work out.. thank you for this whole album. It really helped me get through it. It was probably as cathartic to write as it was for some of us to listen to. Thank you, Kelsea. I hope your life is filled with love, laughter & happiness. ❤
-
When she says "Im back at the beginning"...man that hit home. Im 49 not 29 but the outcome is the same, and so is the pain.
-
I relate to this song so much. Being married for 14 years(since I was in my early 20s) to being divorced and starting over, it's so scary putting yourself back out there. I love her happiness these days, how all her songs have helped her heal and love again.
-
KELSSSS. Thank your for your artistry and vulnerability! Also can I just point out how iconic it is that you DM’d chase on 12/1. the day before what would have been your wedding anniversary, and instead of mourning and standing still, you turned the damn page and shot your shot and now you’re out here healing all of us ❤
-
this song became my number 5 on my spotify wrapped this year, i am so so excited for this music video and the parallel to penthouse with looking at the curtains???? what a perfect way to close out this chapter 🤍
-
If she doesn't win the Grammy for Best Country Album, I swear to God.... 😳😳😳🙌🏻
-
cutting your hair while getting ready is such a vibe haha
-
Feel so lucky to have found Kelsea's music....she's such a bright light in this crazy world 💙💛💙💛
-
Love this song, keep up with your amazing music Kelsea! Everyone in the UK are wishing you could come back to perform 😢 super proud of you Kelsea ❤️❤️❤️
-
official petition for a remix with Chase picking her up in his bronco at the end of the video
-
I first found Subject to Change earlier this year and it instantly became my all-time favorite album, but I found this song later as I was spiraling from a breakup, and it really helped me feel like it was a new beginning instead of an ending. I can't believe it's taken me so long to find your music, it speaks to me in ways that very few other artists have. Thank you so much for sharing your heart like this. 💛
-
Your journey has been relatable Kelsea! I can’t tell you how many times I’ve cried, gotten pissed, and simply deeply understood RUTWM since it was released. You did so great putting our (you, me, and many others) experiences into songs. This finale is simply phenomenal.
