Background

"Fix" was written in February 2015 with the intention of co-writer Abe Stoklasa recording it for his own album. However, after the song was pitched to publishers, the newly-formed independent label Big Loud Records' manager-partner Seth England optioned the song for the label's flagship artist Chris Lane. [3] The song was "countrified" for Lane, including lyrical changes such as the censoring of "good shit," though it retained some of the dance music and blue-eyed soul influences of the demo. [3]

The song, released in October 2015, is the first release by Big Loud Records which was formed in the summer of 2015. [4] Chris Lane performed the song at the Grand Ole Opry on February 20, 2016. [5]

[4] The song has sold 291,000 copies in the US as of August 2016. [8] It was certified platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) on September 28, 2020. [9]
