Green co-wrote "Damn Good Day to Leave" with Erik Dylan, Jonathan Singleton, and Nick Walsh in March 2022 at 50 Egg Music.

[1] Inspired in part by Green's days playing football for Jacksonville State University in Alabama, he brought the idea for the song title to the writing session, and they wrote something that detailed the end of a relationship, permeated by dark imagery of vehicle taillights and Hank Williams singing about trains, but contrasted by the protagonist instead seeing blue skies and newfound freedom in the wake of her leaving.

[1] It was issued to country radio with an impact date of March 18, 2024, and was the most-added song that week at the format with 84 first-week adds.
