Bailey Zimmerman wrote the song with Austin Shawn and Gavin Lucas. Jessica Nicholson of Billboard described the song as "lamenting" a lost love.[3] Zimmerman came up with the song's idea in 2020, when he wrote the first verse and chorus before presenting them to Austin Shawn and Gavin Lucas at a songwriting session. Lucas thought the song had a style similar to Americana music.[3]
