"A country pop rookie who can write a chorus like Sia," (PAPER), Ingrid Andress is set to release her debut album Lady Like on March 27 via Warner Music Nashville/Atlantic Records. Featuring the title-track she performed on Late Night with Seth Meyers, the project will also include her nearly Top 10 country radio single “More Hearts Than Mine.” The “elegantly written” (New York Times) ballad, which she performed on NBC’s TODAY, earned Andress her first entry on Billboard’s all-genre Hot 100 chart and made history as the only debut from a solo-female to crack the Country Airplay Top 20 in 2019.

The accomplished singer/songwriter, who has penned songs for artists including Bebe Rexha, Charli XCX, FLETCHER and Dove Cameron, continues to hone her skills writing with heavy hitters in the music community like Sam Hunt, Alicia Keys and Tori Kelly. She’ll hit the road this spring on Dan + Shay’s The (Arena) Tour and help Thomas Rhett kick off his Center Point Road tour in May before joining Tim McGraw’s massive 2020 Here on Earth stadium tour July through September.

Talk
Ingrid Andress Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Baby, let's not argue when we're out in public
You know we've already had this long discussion
I only wanna fix it, but you keep breaking down
Down

I love that we forgive, but hate that we forget
Oh, na-na-na
Oh, na-na-na

We say we're gonna change, but here we are again
Oh, na-na-na

All we do is talk about it
Never do a thing about it
Do you even care about us?
'Cause I really care about us
All we do is talk about it
Never do a thing about it
Do you even care about us?
'Cause I really care about us
But all we ever do is talk, talk, talk, talk, talk
All we ever do is talk, talk, talk, talk, talk

I think fighting's healthy in moderate doses
But we're not getting better 'cause this wound never closes

I love that we forgive, but hate that we forget
Oh, na-na-na
Oh, na-na-na
We say we're gonna change, but here we are again
Oh, na-na-na

All we do is talk about it
Never do a thing about it
Do you even care about us?
'Cause I really care about us
But all we do is talk about it
Never do a thing about it
Do you even care about us?
'Cause I really care about us
All we ever do is talk, talk, talk, talk, talk
All we ever do is talk, talk, talk, talk, talk
Yeah, all we ever is talk, talk, talk, talk, talk
Oh, all we ever do is talk, talk, talk, talk, talk
Yeah, all we ever do (is talk, talk, talk, talk, talk)
(All we ever do is talk, talk, talk, talk, talk) yeah, oh
(All we ever do is talk, talk, talk, talk, talk)

That's all we ever do (all we ever do is talk, talk, talk, talk, talk)
All we ever do is talk

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Ingrid Andress's song "Talk" explore the frustrating cycle of constant communication without any real action or change. The singer expresses her desire to resolve the issues in their relationship and make things better, but it seems that they are stuck in a loop of talking without taking any actual steps towards improvement. In public, they pretend to be fine and have already had extensive discussions about their problems, but they keep breaking down instead of finding a solution.

The chorus emphasizes the repetitive nature of their conversations and the lack of progress. Despite their claims to change, they always end up back in the same situation, stuck in a continuous cycle of talking without any tangible results. The singer questions whether their partner even cares about their relationship, as they are the one who genuinely cares and wants to make things work.

The second verse introduces the idea that fighting can be healthy in moderation, but in their case, it only perpetuates the wound within their relationship. They may forgive each other, but they struggle with forgetting and moving forward. The na-na-na repetition in the bridge showcases the frustration and exasperation the singer feels about the situation.

Overall, "Talk" highlights the frustration and stagnation that can occur when couples continuously discuss their problems without taking any action or implementing change. It portrays the longing for a deeper connection and genuine effort to improve their relationship.
