Background
Lead vocalist Brown said in a statement: "'Same Boat' is about how we all go through the same things, all together. It is a chance to be able to remind people to be positive, be good to each other and show empathy. You don't know what it's like to walk around in someone else's shoes. We're all human beings. Let's spread some love around and show kindness to each other."{{cite web|url=https://tasteofcountry.com/zac-brown-band-same-boat/|title=Zac Brown Band Set Sail Back to Their Roots in 'Same Boat' [Listen]|website=Taste of Country|last=Collins|first=Robyn|date=June 11, 2021|access-date=August 14, 2021}}
