Background[edit]
Womack told The Early Show, "Well, I always like to tell people, really, a lot of the songs just come from real life, whether I wrote them or other writers. You know, that's the beauty of country music, it's about real-life situations. And so I look for songs that really mean something to me, either I've been through it or I know somebody that's been through it. And something that really touches me."[3]

"Last Call" is the first single release from this album. Written by Shane McAnally and Erin Enderlin, the song is Womack's first chart entry since "Finding My Way Back Home" in mid-2006.
The album was produced by Tony Brown. One track, "The Bees", features background vocals from Keith Urban, and "Everything but Quits" is a duet with George Strait.[4] "The King of Broken Hearts," from Jim Lauderdale's 1991 album Planet of Love, was also previously recorded by Strait on the soundtrack to the 1993 film Pure Country. Additionally, the track "Either Way" was later recorded by its co-writer Chris Stapleton for his 2017 album From A Room: Volume 1, from which it was released as the first single.
