The song was written by former Runaway June lead vocalist Naomi Cooke, Justin Wilson and Dave Pittenger.

An accompanying music video for the song, directed by Eric Welch, features Farr performing in a barn with his band, and is intercut with scenes of archery, lassoing and a silo dance party.

Farr plays the role of a guy enjoying a night of fresh air and wild impulses with a girl.

"[1] Anthony Easton of Spin highlighted the track as being "the sexiest song about getting literally dirty" and positively compared it to Kip Moore's "Somethin' 'Bout a Truck".

[2] In 2017, Billboard contributor Chuck Dauphin put "Better in Boots" at number eight on his top 10 list of Farr's best songs.
