Gabby Barrett Unveils Dramatic New Video For Breakup Track ‘The Easy Part’

Gabby Barrett brings her latest breakup anthem, “The Easy Part,” to life in a brand new music video.

The Quentin Cook-directed clip opens with a couple arguing inside their home, capturing the intense moment when the man storms out and drives away as the woman watches from the front door. After he leaves, she returns inside and reflects on moments from their heated argument, as well as the happier memories they once shared together.

Performance clips of Barrett are woven throughout the video, and as the story reaches its emotional peak, a storm begins to roll in, with rain pouring down around Barrett and outside the woman’s window.

As time passes, the sun eventually rises on a new day. When the woman finally leaves the house where they once made so many memories, the former couple unexpectedly cross paths at a four-way stop. In a final twist, it’s revealed that the man has moved on, with a new woman now riding shotgun in his truck.

The storyline follows the story of the breakup song ashe she sings, “Go on and slam that front door/ Go on and tell me where I can go/ Put that pedal to the floorboard/ Leave me a mess in the middle of the road/ Go all Jack D crazy/ Tell yourself leavin’ me is so hard/ But I got news for you baby/ That’ll be the easy part.” 

Penned by Barrett with Michael Hardy (HARDY), Zach Abend, and Jon Nite and produced by Zach Kale, Zach Abend, and Ross Copperman, “The Easy Part” has been steadily picking up steam since its release, with SiriusXM giving the track strong rotation across its country channels.

“’The Easy Part’ plays with the idea that sometimes the dramatic moment in a relationship feels like the hardest part, but often it’s what comes after that really stays with you,” shares Barrett. “The song reflects on those memories; the good and the complicated, and realizing what they meant over time. In the video, you see those moments play out as she looks back on the relationship and ultimately chooses peace and keeps moving forward.”

Gabby Barrett has also compared the song to her 8x Platinum smash “I Hope,” revealing,  “In some ways, it feels like a distant cousin to ‘I Hope.’ It’s a different kind of heartbreak, one that settles in slow and quiet.”
