“Wow” says Berry about her follow up success to her break out holiday single “Happy Holiday Song” which debuted at #3 on the Holiday Charts in 2020. “I really don’t know what to say except thank you to all the listeners and fans requesting ‘Colored Balloons’ and thank you to all of the radio programmers who are playing it.”
Berry wrote this song as she found a moment of deep peace from going through a very tough time. While absent-mindedly watching balloons sway towards the ground after a party and watching the balloons make a gentle fall from their heights allowed her to feel the peacefulness coming down and in those moments of watching the balloons, she realized the relief from the burden of the stress she was carrying. Wanting to share that moment of peace, she wrote ‘Colored Balloons’ to share and capture it forever.
“With all the stress in the world, I was honored to be able to share “Colored Balloons” with radio in the hopes it would give listeners everywhere an easier more peaceful day.”
