Background

Lynch released the lead single "Thinking 'Bout You" featuring MacKenzie Porter in May 2021, a song originally recorded for his previous album Tullahoma as a duet with Lauren Alaina. He followed this with two songs released digitally in July, the "mid-tempo, fiddle-led love story" "Pasadena" and "acoustic ballad" "Not Every Cowboy". In December 2021, Lynch told Taste of Country that the album was finished and had been handed over to his record label.[5] Lynch described the album as a "collection of songs that are going to make you feel good and want to mix a drink and party with your friends".[2]

Critical reception

Stephen Thomas Erlewine of AllMusic wrote that the album often "wanders into territory that's pretty corny, but Lynch serves up his good times with a smile, an affect that serves him equally well on breezy pop tunes and earnest ballads".[6]
