Background and composition
The song is a fan-favorite and previously unreleased track that was first teased over three years before its actual release. "Mamaw's House" was written in early August 2020 by both Rhett and Wallen.[1] Rhett then shared a rendition of it on his social media a few weeks later.[2] Creation of the song was inspired by an interrupted Zoom call between Rhett and Wallen when the latter's grandmother called him during a writing session. The incident would lead to a track that was otherwise described as something neither of them were "particularly excited by".[3]
However, it was not until September 25, 2023, that he would officially announce the release. Accompanied by a picture of him as a child at his grandmother's home, Rhett posted a lyric of the song as a caption.[4] "Mamaw's House" is an "introspective, wistful ballad" that sees the duo turning the image of their grandmother's house into a "symbol for a simpler, more loving way of life", portraying it "as a sanctuary".[3] It appears as track 22 on Rhett's first compilation album 20 Number Ones, released on September 29.[5]
It marks Rhett and Wallen's third song with shared co-writer credits, following "Whiskey'd My Way" and "Your Bartender" from Wallen's Dangerous: The Double Album (2021).
