This is the first studio album in Rhett's career to not feature any tracks co-written by his father Rhett Akins.

Thomas Rhett co-wrote 13 of the 14 tracks on About a Woman, and longtime collaborators Julian Bunetta and Dan Huff executive produced the album. [3] Rhett, who first began working on the album in April 2023, noted that the title's inspiration came from his wife, Lauren, and his commitment to her. [4] He described the album's recording process as wanting "to exude joy and fun with this project—and really just make people move". [3] The album is largely described as up-tempo, with the closing track, "I Could Spend Forever Loving You", being its only ballad. [1] The track "Don't Wanna Dance" interpolates Whitney Houston's "I Wanna Dance with Somebody (Who Loves Me)", one of many examples of the album's influence of "retro 80s sounds and thumping beats" over a more organic country foundation. [3] [1]
