Discussing the journey of the band since the release of their previous album, Volunteer in 2018, frontman Ketch Secor stated that the addition of Jerry Pentecost as their first dedicated drummer was instrumental in redefining their sound.

Secor enjoyed the contrast between the upbeat instrumentation and the lyrical content, describing it as “first and foremost, a song about divorce” but one that is “brimming with the euphoria of new beginnings, a tongue-in-cheek tale of throwing caution to the wind and starting over.”[4] The album's third single, "Honey Chile", was released on March 14, 2022, and was inspired by country singer Charlie Daniels.

Discussing his influence on the track, Secor explained that “when you mine the musical traditions of the South as we have you’re always going to run head-on into the region’s most successful export: Southern Rock, and my favorite performers of this style are the Charlie Daniels Band, who Old Crow was lucky enough to open for back in the early 2000’s.

We’ll miss Charlie around these parts, but he lives on in songs like ‘Honey Chile,’ a backwoods slow burn about good lovin’ and other hard habits to break.”[5] "Gloryland" was released ten days before its parent album on April 12, 2022.

Secor described the track as song inspired by his fears over the state of the world and a hypothetical scenario where he attempts to escape but the gates to Eden are closed so he resorts to singing to make him feel better and give him purpose.
