“Just Married” is the second song on the tracklist of Kelsea Ballerini’s EP, which is only six tracks long. The title of the track can be a nod to the happiness someone feels when they are just married, even mentioning the “just married” sign that is often hung on the back of the car after a wedding. The wedding is just the start of a new chapter with someone, and it can be a fun and exhilarating time.
For Ballerini, the thought of marriage was scary at first. But that was until she met Morgan Evans. “It was an instant connection,” she said in an interview with Access Hollywood. “As soon as I met [Evans], he was just careful with the way that I love, and I always felt very safe letting him.”

The “half of my hometown” singer also opened up about the fact that her parent’s divorce affected her outlook on love and marriage. “I swore I was never going to get married,” she told People in November 2021. “I have a different idea of marriage, but I would think I have a healthier idea of marriage.” She mentioned that she and Evans had been in couple’s therapy before. “We approach our relationship so differently, but he shows up — he shows up in every way he needs to,” she added. But it seems that “Just Married” also has a much deeper meaning that reflects on the downfall of the relationship.
