[3] Brad Rempel of High Valley and Granger Smith had become friends as fellow songwriters, with Smith previously recording two songs that Rempel had written: "That's Why I Love Dirt Roads" and "Buy a Boy a Baseball".

Rempel wanted to record "Country Music, Girls and Trucks" with Smith, so they agreed to a trade-off: Smith would join High Valley on the song so long as Rempel joined Smith on his farm in Texas to film the music video.

[4] Rempel added that "as tongue in cheek and as ridiculously on the nose as the title is, if you actually listen to the lyrics, in my opinion, it's telling an actual story that’s true".

[4] He and Smith posted childhood photos on several social media platforms to promote the release of the song.

[6][7] The video was directed by Josh Gicker,[8] and shot on Granger Smith's farm in Texas during his second annual "YeeYee Day".
