Timeless (Dallas Smith album)

Smith told Parton and Pearl after releasing The Fall, "I honestly just looked at that chunk of music as something individually". He then began to work on a second EP when he "got a sense of the record taking shape". Smith said "As far as a record and listening to it front to back I knew what was missing and how I wanted this chapter to be represented".

While Smith recorded the vocals of the previously-released tracks in Nashville, Tennessee with longtime producer Joey Moi, restrictions due to the COVID-19 pandemic forced Smith to record vocals for the rest of the album at his home in Langley, British Columbia. Smith said he hoped to release "timeless country music" in "uncertain times".{{cite web|first=Ryan|last=Uytdewilligen|url=https://www.aldergrovestar.com/entertainment/langley-country-artist-dallas-smith-releases-fourth-album-timeless/#|title=Langley country artist Dallas Smith releases fourth album, Timeless|work=Aldergrove Star|publisher=Black Press Media|date=August 29, 2020}}
