Marshmello and Kelsea Ballerini Team Up For Summer Anthem “Another Drink”

By  | 

Global superstars Marshmello and Kelsea Ballerini kick off summer with their new single “Another Drink,” out today. Marking their first collaboration, the track pairs Marshmello’s country-forward production with Kelsea’s signature mix of charismatic vocals and undeniable hooks.

Built around handclaps, acoustic guitar, and a bright, infectious chorus, “Another Drink” captures the carefree energy of a summer night out. Kelsea’s confident, tongue-in-cheek delivery brings the song’s playful narrative to life, building toward the instantly memorable refrain: “No she don’t wanna think. She just wants another drink.”

About the collaboration, Marshmello commented “I loved the challenge of bringing my own approach to country production on this track, and I’m grateful to Kelsea for trusting my vision. She’s an incredible artist and person, and we’re both proud of this song and excited for everyone to hear it.

I’ve been a friend and fan of Marshmello’s for years, and we’ve always wanted to find the right thing to work on together,” adds Kelsea. “This song came to life at the perfect time for us to combine our worlds for a fun, summertime jam. I hope it makes everyone cheers and dance.”

After fueling fan excitement with last week (see here and here), the release arrives alongside a new visualizer featuring both Marshmello and Kelsea, bringing the song’s fun-loving spirit to life on screen.
“Another Drink” follows Marshmello’s recent collaboration with Thomas Rhett, “Where We Go,” which has already surpassed 11 million Spotify streams. The track continued Marshmello’s growing presence in country music, building on a run of releases including “Better Man Than Me” with Hudson Westbrook and “Holy Water” with Jelly Roll.

Marshmello first broke new ground in the genre with Kane Brown collaboration “Miles On It,” which became the first song ever to debut at No. 1 on both Billboard’s Top Dance/Electronic Songs and Top Country Songs charts. Since then, he has continued to blur genre lines while expanding his reach across country, pop, and dance music.

Following several revelatory album releases, an arena-headlining tour, and a multitude of GRAMMY, ACM, and CMA Award nominations, Kelsea Ballerini is having a moment. Her latest full-length album, PATTERNS, marked a new creative high point, earning a GRAMMY nomination for Best Contemporary Country Album, debuting at No. 1 on Billboard’s Top Country Albums chart, and landing at No. 4 on the Billboard 200.
 
Most recently, she released her acclaimed EP, Mount Pleasant, offering fans an intimate new chapter from one of country music’s most compelling storytellers. The two-time CMA Award winner continues to bring her celebrated live show to audiences nationwide, including on her 35-date KELSEA BALLERINI LIVE ON TOUR, which saw her play sold-out arenas across the country.
