Background

In an interview with Country Now, Scott explained the inspiration of the song: "It says what I wanted to say right now in my career. It’s just one of those songs about where I grew up. If you drove through my town of Bastrop, Louisiana, you would ask yourself, “what do people do here?” This is a ‘Nothing To Do Town.'” It just felt like the right single to put out."[2]

Music video

The music video was released on December 18, 2018. Clips revealed Scott a day after growing up in Bastrop, Louisiana, and invited his friends and family to duck hunting, drive SUV and hang out with friends by bonfire.[3]

The song reached number 35 on the Billboard Hot Country Songs chart. On July 28, 2020, the song obtained RIAA Gold certification.[4]
