[3] Detailing how the collaboration came together, Ballerini posted a series of text messages on her Instagram between her and an unnamed artist (later revealed to be Clarkson) where she stated that she was “finishing up my record and have a song that I wanted to turn into a sassbomb female moment and just have to ask you if you would be a part of it.
I love collaborations, but I just wanted to make sure that I could stand on my own two feet.” She stated that, once the song was written, she couldn't shake the idea of an all-female trio performing it.
Of Pearce's inclusion, Ballerini explained “Carly and I have been friends for, like, 10 years, before either of us had anything going on and we’ve just seen each other personally and professionally through so many seasons of life.
[5] On an episode of her talk show where she interviewed Ballerini, Clarkson revealed that she was drunk when recording her parts of the song, having just celebrated her last day of work before a summer break.
[6] Ballerini, Clarkson and Pearce performed the song together live for the first time at the 56th Annual Country Music Association Awards on November 9, 2022.
