Morris has a writing credit on every track. Busbee plays bass, keys, guitars and programming, Ian Fitchuk drums and keys, John Osborne of Brothers Osborne guitar, and the McCrary Sisters sing gospel harmonies; Adam Ayan mastered it at Gateway. "Second Wind" was first recorded by Kelly Clarkson for the deluxe edition of Piece by Piece. The singles were "My Church", "80s Mercedes" (11 on country radio), "I Could Use a Love Song" and "Rich". The deluxe edition, with "Bummin' Cigarettes", "Company You Keep" and "Space", came out on March 17, 2017.

AllMusic's Erlewine gave 5 stars and called it a great modern pop album, regardless of genre; the New York Times's Jon Caramanica called it perhaps the canniest country record in recent memory; PopMatters gave 7 of 10; and Saving Country Music was harshly negative. Rolling Stone ranked it the best country album of 2016.
