Smith shared to the song as "feels like the perfect blend of 2000's rock and heartfelt country. I want to make love songs that cut deep but are still tough. [...] I chose this to come out first because I feel like it really showcases my influences and sonic taste. It’s a bit of a theme song for this new project!"{{Cite web |title=Nate Smith Announces Sophomore Album – Sony Music Canada |url=https://www.sonymusic.ca/press_release/nate-smith-announces-sophomore-album |access-date=2024-10-28 |website=sonymusic.ca}}{{Cite web |date=2024-08-24 |title=Nate Smith Shares 'Fix What You Didn't Break' From New Album |url=https://www.antimusic.com/p/24/0824nate_smith_shares_fix_what_you_didnt_break_from_new_album.shtml |access-date=2024-10-28 |website=www.antimusic.com |language=en}}
