The duo released the song on March 27, 2020. Corey Crowder co-wrote the song with Ernest Keith Smith, Ryan Vojtesak, Kane Brown, Chase McGill, and Will Weatherly, and also produced it. USA Today referred to the song as a "country-rock jam tailor-made for summertime."[1]

Billy Dukes of Taste of Country called the song "the kind of country-rocker they built their live show on" and noted the "banjo, heavy drum beats and electric guitars" in the production.[2] Jon Freeman of Rolling Stone Country thought that the song showed influence from country music of the 1990s.[3]
