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 mid-2015. [4] Chris Lane performed the song at the Grand Ole Opry on February 20, 2016. [5]

Commercial performance

The song debuted on the Country Airplay chart in December 2015 at number 50, [6] then debuted on the Hot Country Songs at number 44 two weeks later. [7] The song reached number one on the Country Airplay chart in August 2016, which is the first number one on the chart for Chris Lane. [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]

Music video

A lyric video directed by Lloyd Aur Norman premiered on Lane's Vevo account on October 30, 2015. [10] The official music video was directed by TK McKamy and premiered January 6, 2016. [11]
