“Hole in the Bottle” is a song recorded by American country music artist Kelsea Ballerini. It was released to country radio on May 27, 2020, as the third single from Ballerini’s third studio album Kelsea.
Ballerini co-wrote the song with Jesse Frasure, Hillary Lindsey, Ashley Gorley, and Steph Jones. Described as an “upbeat, slightly silly and twangy, yet poppy” drinking song, the song is about getting over a breakup with the help of wine. Ballerini debuted the song at CRS on February 19, 2020 and called it her ‘first-ever drinking song.’] It was released on February 28, 2020 as a promotional single ahead of the album.
“It ain’t my fault
So don’t blame me
I swear I just came here to unwind and have one drink
The way it looks
Ain’t what you think
This Cabernet has a way of vanishin’ on me
There’s a hole in the bottle
Leakin’ all this wine
It’s already empty and it ain’t even suppertime
Honey, no, I don’t miss him
In fact, it slipped my mind
There’s a hole in the bottle of wine”
A lyric video for the song premiered on Ballerini’s official YouTube channel on February 27, 2020. The official video for the song premiered on August 31, 2020, and was directed by Hannah Lux Davis. It begins in a vintage black-and-white style with Ballerini dressed in flapper wardrobe reminiscent of the 1920s. Once the first chorus hits, colored scenes are introduced and she is shown in a house painting a portrait of her dog Dibs, in a field with a couple friends who join her in lounging on a bed and perform a dance routine with the singer, and playing chess with herself.
