Andrew Mitch Explores the Weight We Carry In New Cinematic Country-Folk Ballad “Baggage”
Nashville, TN — On February 27, Andrew Mitch will release his new single “baggage,” a song about what lingers after a relationship ends: the emotional weight and the quiet moments. The song moves between intimate, stripped-back sections and heavier percussion and strings, reflecting the highs and lows that follow the end of a relationship.
“I’ve always loved the ballad-like feel of country-folk music, as well as the excitement and drama of orchestral and cinematic music,” Andrew says. “So I combined them on this track.”
Co-written by Andrew alongside Jonathan Johnston, Eitan Snyder, and Drew Rizzuto, “baggage” was produced by Andrew himself. The song’s dynamic arrangement mirrors its emotional core, shifting between sparse guitar passages and fuller orchestral sections that capture both vulnerability and emotional overload.
“I think everyone can relate to the weight you carry after any sort of relationship ends,” Mitch adds. “I wrote this song hoping to embody what that really feels like in your chest. Heavy. There are ups, there are downs, and it’s a lot to hold. Hopefully it helps someone zone out and have a good cry. I know I did.”
Instrumentally, “baggage” features banjo and dobro performed by James Paul Mitchell and was mixed by Bryan Cook, whose credits include work with Lainey Wilson, One Republic, Steven Wilson Jr., and U2.
With “baggage,” Mitch continues to release music shaped by emotional honesty and a deeply personal approach to songwriting and production.
“baggage” is available on all streaming platforms February 27, 2026. Pre-save here: https://onerpm.link/baggage

In 2025, Andrew went on to release songs like “back home boy”, “unapologetic,” “the reimagined sessions” EP — stripped-down, intimate versions of fan favorites — and a deluxe record, “still feeling outside the lines.”
