Pearce co-wrote the song with Gorley and Shackleton in late 2020, following her divorce from Michael Ray. Upon Pearce first playing the song, it would pick up a large reception among fans. It eventually became the third single from the album 29: Written in Stone, after radio stations had also inquired about it. Content
