Tyler Hubbard, who is one-half of the duo Florida Georgia Line, wrote the song with Chris Loocke in 2020. He said that he wrote the song in November 2020 while under quarantine during the COVID-19 pandemic.[1]

According to Tim McGraw, Hubbard sent him the song months before the 2021 storming of the United States Capitol. McGraw and Hubbard produced the track along with McGraw's longtime producer Byron Gallimore and Florida Georgia Line's producer, Corey Crowder.[2]

Billy Dukes of Taste of Country describes the song as a "peppy, pop-friendly country bop simply asks us to treat our neighbors with decency and kindness."[3] The song has a central theme of unity among those with differing viewpoints.[4]

McGraw and Hubbard performed the song live at the inauguration ceremony for Joe Biden as the 46th President of the United States.[5]
