Background
The song is a tribute to the return to the road of a musician after the long period of hiatus at events and musical performances and concerts due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Describing the song and the calendar, he also said:"On the road is where I have been for the last 45 years," Adams said in the statement, "because the life of a musician is made up of roads, travel, waiting in hotels, hours backstage."[3] On The Road is the title of the 48th edition of the Pirelli 2022 calendar.[4] During the presentation of the calendar, which took place in Milan on November 29, 2021, Adams explained how the idea for the song was born after the shooting advent in Las Vegas in the summer of 2021, he contacted the Pirelli executives saying that he had in mind to write a song for the calendar, with our approval and enthusiasm Adams together with Robert John "Mutt" Lange wrote in just 24 hours.[5][6]
