Background

In an interview with Country Now, Scott explained the inspiration of the song: "It says what I wanted to say right now in my career. It’s just one of those songs about where I grew up. If you drove through my town of Bastrop, Louisiana, you would ask yourself, “what do people do here?” This is a ‘Nothing To Do Town.'” It just felt like the right single to put out."[2]
