Background[edit]
The band announced the album in July 2022.[1] The creation of the album is nearly perfectly divided with seven of the sixteen songs written and recorded in sessions for the previous album, Nightfall, the rest of which from sessions taking place during the COVID-19 pandemic.[2] During the pandemic, it was the first time in twenty years that the band did not tour. It was during this time that they found the inspiration to write for this album.[3]
Jimi Westbrook wrote "Rich Man," which he describes as the "most heartfelt, personal, and special" song he's ever written.[4] He began writing the song around the year 2009, and finished it in late 2021.

On September 14, 2022, Little Big Town appeared on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, and performed "Hell Yeah" and "Rich Man".[8] They also appeared on The Today Show on September 16, 2022.[9]
