"Filming the music video for this song was a blast! My videographers, Travis Flynn and Justin Mayotte, really helped bring this song to life. It was a hard concept to pull off because of the amount of editing but they worked their magic. We really wanted to capture the idea that with every sip of whiskey, the memories of her past relationship begin fading back in. I was actually drinking whiskey the whole time because I wanted it to be real, so some might say I had a little too much fun on set! I love this song and am excited to see what people think of the music video." says Karissa Ella.

Karissa shines through in this video with strong vocals and an emotional presence. All is well until the initial high of a glass of whiskey wears off.

Her second EP, Blossom, came out Summer 2019 with songs like "VACAY" featured by Parade and "Me and Luke" by Taste of Country. As she draws inspiration from the music she grew up on, Karissa released The Acoustic Sessions, made up of multiple covers, including "Who I Am," "Maybe It Was Memphis," "Blame It On Your Heart" and "You Can't Make Old Friends" ft. Johnny Gates and Jenee Fleenor (2x CMA Musician of the Year and ACM Musician Of The Year).
