Carena Liptak of The Boot said that the song is about "a vivid picture of falling in love to the backdrop of gorgeous California scenery, all in a Toyota Tacoma." Dickerson said that the song was originally about taking a road trip, but after presenting his cowriters with the idea, they chose to add details that Dickerson had witnessed while driving down the Pacific Coast Highway with his wife, Kailey.{{cite web|url=http://theboot.com/russell-dickerson-blue-tacoma-lyrics/|title=STORY BEHIND THE SONG: RUSSELL DICKERSON, 'BLUE TACOMA'|last=Liptak|first=Carena|date=April 5, 2018|work=The Boot|accessdate=September 25, 2018}}
