The song is a tribute to Allen's father, who died in 2019. Allen shot the video at his childhood house.{{cite web | url=https://www.thecountrydaily.com/2022/03/19/jimmie-allens-song-down-home-the-music-video-for-it-honor-his-late-father/ | title=Jimmie Allen's Song "Down Home" & the Music Video for it Honor his Late Father | publisher=The Country Daily | date=March 19, 2022 | access-date=October 13, 2022}} He co-wrote the song during a session with Rian Ball, Cameron Bedell, and Tate Howell, the last of whom is the guitarist in Allen's touring band. Allen said that he often found himself becoming emotional when recording the song, and continued to feel that way in concert. In particular, he cited the line "I got a daughter now" as being a point where he often found difficulty continuing to sing the song in a live setting, as Allen's father never met his daughters.{{cite web | url=https://www.cmt.com/news/oymzbl/jimmie-allen-shares-story-behind-down-home-and-lessons-from-his-parents | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220819172930/https://www.cmt.com/news/oymzbl/jimmie-allen-shares-story-behind-down-home-and-lessons-from-his-parents | url-status=dead | archive-date=August 19, 2022 | title=Jimmie Allen Shares Story Behind "Down Home" and Lessons From His Parents | publisher=CMT | date=March 8, 2022 | access-date=October 13, 2022}}
