It was released to country music radio on December 5, 2022, as the second single from Ballerini's fourth studio album, Subject to Change.

Ballerini and her collaborators decided to book one final writing day in case they had anything left in the tank and, when reviewing the topics covered by the songs on the album, realized there wasn't one that honored her friendships.

Similarly, Ballerini took roughly two hours to record her vocals and was careful to ensure that the song's tongue-and-cheek message was conveyed effectively.

"And then sometimes, both things can be true.”[3] The song's concept video premiered on September 16, 2022 and features Ballerini in a pastel-colored room engaging in various activities such as applying make-up, reading a book, calling a friend, cleaning and drinking wine, seemingly unfazed as the weather outside slowly worsens, ending with hurricanes, explosions and thunder and lightning.

Ballerini performed the song at the 2023 CMT Music Awards accompanied by RuPaul's Drag Race stars Manila Luzon, Kennedy Davenport, Jan Sport and Olivia Lux.
