The fourth track off Kelsea Ballerini’s third album kelsea, “the other girl” is about two women who have just found out they are being cheated on with each other, wondering if the other is “more promiscuous” or has something they don’t.
In the chorus, the powerhouse pair analyze how neither of them...
[Verse 1: Kelsea Ballerini]
I bet you're from out west somewhere
Hazel eyes and dark brown hair
And everything you wear fits you just right
I bet you drink martinis dry
And never let 'em see you cry
I bet you're more promiscuous than I
[Pre-Chorus: Kelsea Ballerini & Halsey]
I bet you're bold, I bet that's why you seem to occupy his mind
I bet you're smart, but do you know about me? (Is it you?)
[Chorus: Kelsea Ballerini]
Is it me? Is it you?
Tell me who, who's the other girl?
Who's the first? Who's the fool?
Who's the diamond? Who's the pearl?
Are you mad? Me too
And I wonder, in his world
Is it me? Is it you?
Who's the other girl?
[Post-Chorus: Kelsea Ballerini & Halsey, Kelsea Ballerini & Halsey]
Who's gonna put on the red dress
Scarlet letter on her chest
Can't love with this on her conscience
Tell me, who's the other girl, girl, girl, girl?
[Verse 2: Halsey & Kelsea Ballerini]
Are you the one he's talkin' to
When he gets up and leaves the room
And comes back with a distance in his eyes? (Ah)
Maybe I should be the one to leave
But damn, when he starts lovin' me
It makes me think I'm all that's on his mind (Ah, ah)
[Chorus: Halsey]
Is it me? Is it you?
Tell me who, who's the other girl?
Who's the first? Who's the fool?
Who's the diamond? Who's the pearl?
Are you mad? Me too
And I wonder, in his world
Is it me? Is it you?
Who's the other girl?
[Post-Chorus: Kelsea Ballerini & Halsey, Kelsea Ballerini & Halsey]
Who's gonna put on the red dress
Scarlet letter on her chest
Can't love with this on her conscience
Tell me, who's the other girl, girl, girl, girl?
[Bridge: Halsey & Kelsea Ballerini]
I bet you're cool, I bet that's why you seem to occupy his time
I bet by now, you know about me (And you know about me)
[Chorus: Kelsea Ballerini & Halsey, Kelsea Ballerini, Halsey]
Is it me? (Is it me?) Is it you? (Is it you?)
Tell me who, who's the other girl?
Who's the first? (Who's the first?) Who's the fool? (Who's the fool? Yeah)
Who's the diamond? Who's the pearl?
Are you mad? (Are you mad?) Me too (Me too)
And I wonder, in his world
Is it me? (Is it me?) Is it you? (Is it you?)
Who's the other girl?
[Post-Chorus: Kelsea Ballerini & Halsey, Kelsea Ballerini & Halsey]
Who's gonna put on the red dress
Scarlet letter on her chest
Can't love with this on her conscience
Tell me, who's the other girl, girl, girl, girl?

Ballerini shared via Twitter:
the day ash put her angel vocals on the other girl I played her homecoming queen and she played me you should be sad 🤠
[Halsey] played Ascend here in Nashville and I went backstage afterwards and we just clicked. Hung out all night, went to Santa’s Pub, did karaoke, sang Fleetwood Mac for hours, drank Coronas like it was our job. That night, her and her whole team ended up back at my place and she played me the firs...
In an interview with The Boot, Halsey explained:
It was really cool, because [Ballerini] and I were both in really good places in our lives and drawing from old hurt. To sing a song, or perform a song live, that has evolved from what it could have meant to what it means now, is just the best thing...
