“‘Merry Go ‘Round’ was inspired by growing up in a small, conservative Texas town,” said Kacey at the time the song was released. “I think we all kind of grow up with expectations of breaking the cycle of life as we know it, trying to appear as if all is perfect under the surface. Coming from Texas, a small Texas town, I’ve definitely grown up with this. I think we’re all guilty of having something that keeps us distracted, no matter what the vice and our comfort zones kind of keep us settled, and I think there’s hope in knowing that everyone has felt this way.”

Kacey is featured on the Elvis biopic soundtrack, performing “Can’t Help Falling In Love With You.”
