Background
Miller told the Surrey Now-Leader how he came to record the song: {{Quote|"Kelly [Archer] and I were writing another song ("I Would Be Over Me Too") in Nashville, and after we finished writing that one, she said 'Hey, I like your voice and your style, what you're doing, and I think I have another one for you.' So they pitched me 'Pillow Talkin' and it went from there."{{Cite web|url=https://www.surreynowleader.com/entertainment/record-setting-second-hit-song-for-surreys-tyler-joe-miller-whos-stoked-for-whats-next/|first=Tom|last=Zillich|title=Record-setting second hit song for Surrey's Tyler Joe Miller, who's 'stoked for what's next'|work=Surrey Now-Leader|date=October 27, 2020}}|}}
