Since the release of her second album Hello, I’m Doing My Best in 2019, things have gone pretty quiet around Ali Barter. Luckily, the Australian rock chick just announced her new EP Chocolate Cake, set for release on 30 April. She already served up its lead single Twisted Up last year, but now a second teaser track is out.

You Get In My Way is unlike anything in Barter’s discography. It contains spoken word verses, which eventually erupt into a booming chorus.

In a press release, the Melbourne singer-songwriter explains: “I wrote You Get In My Way in Nashville in 2019. I was travelling without my husband and had this feeling of freedom to do all the silly things I did when I was single.” She continued to say that she “often [has] funny conversations with my friends in long term relationships about the dumb things we would do if our partner wasn’t around. Ultimately I don’t want to do these things, but it was fun to explore the feeling of rebelling from the security of a long term relationship.”
