Background

Ty Myers wrote the song late at night in his room, like many of his songs. [2] [3] He had wanted to write a soul song. Myers developed an "old school" intro, which he described as "boom, boom, boom", [2] and then the idea of the title "Ends of the Earth". [2] [3] Myers has said, "The whole basis for the song was…I'll follow you to the ends of the earth. I will be devoted to you…I'll always be your man." [3] He finished composing it within an hour. [2]

Prior to releasing the song, Myers shared a series of teasers on the video-sharing app TikTok. In November 2024, the song was used in over 90,000 videos on the platform. [4]

Composition

The song is built on a staccato electric guitar riff and a "stripped-back, sensual" rhythm. It begins with the protagonist describing the perfect environment for a romantic evening, including his partner's bow and perfume and the moonlight shining through the closed blinds of the bedroom, before expressing frustration at her distancing herself from him when they are seem to be close. The lyrics pivot around the Biblical phrase "To the ends of the earth", which is repeated in the chorus in regard to her decision to whether commit to the relationship or not. Despite being heartbroken by his lover's vacillating attitude, the narrator openly declares his unconditional love for her. [4]

Myers recorded the song at Starstruck Studios in Nashville, Tennessee, and it was produced by Brandon Hood. [5]

Chart performance

Initially released as a promotional single on October 18, 2024, the song became his first to enter the Billboard Hot 100, debuting at number 94. It also debuted prior to its release to country radio at number 60 on the Billboard Country Airplay chart in February 2025. [6]
