Content and history

Whitters wrote the song with Ryan Tyndell and Bryan Simpson. The three wrote the song in March 2021. Originally, they were working on a different song when Whitters came up with the lyric "I'm everything she is and everything she ain't". The other two began adding lines and developed the song into "a putdown of the male character's current girlfriend". The recording features Tyndell singing harmony vocals. Producer Jake Gear, who is Whitters's husband, added steel guitar, fiddle, and banjo, as well as a güiro. The song was sent to country radio in June 2022 as the lead single to Whitters's third studio album Raised. [1]
