Kacey Musgraves arrives in stores with her debut album, Same Trailer, Different Park, on Tuesday (March 19th). She wrote or co-wrote all 12 tracks on the project, which she also co-produced with celebrated tunesmiths Luke Laird (“Pontoon,” “Drink in My Hand,” “Take a Back Road”) and Shane McAnally (“Merry Go Round,” “Somewhere With You”).

The title of the album came her Top 10 hit “Merry Go Round,” and she says it’s one of her favorite lyrics. “All along I wanted the title to be something that stands out. I never wanted it to be one-dimensional or completely obvious — you know, Kacey Musgraves… Or even Merry Go Round, you know? I kind of love it when album titles make you think, and sometimes they don’t even have anything to do with the actual, it’s just an abstract idea,” says Kacey. “This came from a lyric in ‘Merry Go Round’ and it’s one of my favorite lyrics in the record. The lyric is ‘Same hurt in every heart/same trailer, different park,’ and it kind of just means we’re all kind of in this together. We’re all hurt the same way. We all feel the same way, although we’re all different.”
