It was released to country radio on May 6, 2022, and is the second single from Brown's third studio album Different Man.

Brown announced the release of "Like I Love Country Music" on April 19, 2022, via an Instagram post he made with his daughter.

He had originally wanted to release the ballad "Leave You Alone" as a single but decided that song was "too slow".

Brown had originally written the song in 2019 and included a snippet of it on his Twitter account at the time.

Brown co-wrote it with Jordan Schmidt, Taylor Phillips, and Matt McGinn during a songwriting retreat in 2019.
