Slow Burn

Who it's for

Musgraves has said she wrote the song about the idea that the best things in life are a slow burn, something you enjoy the journey of, and she pokes fun at her own lateness, joking that she was born early and has been running behind ever since.

Feelings it meets

• Envy
• Stress

What it is

The opening track of Kacey Musgraves' Grammy-winning album Golden Hour (MCA Nashville, 2018). Over soft acoustic guitar and banjo, Musgraves sings about being an 'old soul' who is happy to take life slowly, enjoying the journey rather than rushing toward the next milestone.
