McCreery described Rise & Fall as his "favorite album [he's] made so far" and while the record explores a multitude of themes, the birth of his son in October 2022 served as a great inspiration for some of the songs on the project, reflecting the current stage of his life.{{cite web|url=https://tasteofcountry.com/scotty-mccreery-album-2024-rise-and-fall-track-list/|title=Scotty McCreery's Next Album, 'Rise & Fall' Is Coming: See the Tracklist|author=Carena Liptak|date=February 29, 2024|website=Taste of Country|access-date=April 27, 2024}}{{cite web|url=https://musicrow.com/2024/03/scotty-mccreery-slates-fifth-studio-album-for-may/|title=Scotty McCreery Slates Fifth Studio Album For May|author=LB Cantrell|date=March 1, 2024|website=Music Row|access-date=April 27, 2024}}
