Unapologetically is the second studio album by American country pop singer Kelsea Ballerini. It was released on November 3, 2017. Ballerini announced the album's title and release date on July 25, 2017.[1] In August, the album's track listing was first revealed to fans during a four-day check-in event over the mobile app Swarm.[2]

A deluxe edition of the album with four new bonus tracks was released on October 26, 2018.[3]

The album's lead single, "Legends," was first released on June 7, 2017,[4] and went for adds at country radio on July 10, 2017. It became Ballerini's fourth number one hit on the Billboard Country Airplay chart for the week dated February 24, 2018.

"I Hate Love Songs" was released on March 12, 2018 as the album's second official single.[5] It reached a peak of number 25 on the Billboard Country Airplay chart.

"Miss Me More" was released as the third single from the album on October 15, 2018.[3] It reached a peak of number 2 on the Billboard Country Airplay chart.

Critical reception

Script error: No such module "Music ratings". At review aggregation website Metacritic, Unapologetically has a weighted average score of 74 out of 100, based on 4 reviews, indicating "generally favorable reviews".[10] Paste writer Robert Ham spoke about Unapologetically, "it’s more country by reputation—and the artful twang in Ballerini’s voice—than in sound. But within the album, the songs eschew lovesick notions and bitter revenge fantasies", noting that, "Unapologetically gains in strength as it goes along, mirroring Ballerini’s push away from a particular lover and towards the welcoming arms of a new beau."[13] Billboard contributor Chuck Dauphin placed two songs from the album on his top 10 list of Ballerini's best songs: "Legends" at number three and the title track at number four.[14]
