Background

Owen wanted the theme of the record to be appreciation of his home state of Florida, as well as a "pure representation of who I am, where I've been, what I love and where I am going", calling it a "fresh hello from a point in my career where I feel so comfortable and fulfilled". [4]

Promotion

Owen announced the title on his social media accounts in late February 2019 [5] before posting the full cover art on March 1, which resembles a postcard depicting "everything Florida has to offer", including palm trees, oranges, and a sailboat. [4] The cover art and title is similar to Bruce Springsteen’s 1973 debut album, Greetings from Asbury Park, N.J.

Commercial performance

The album debuted at No. 8 on Billboard 's Top Country Albums chart, [6] selling 4,000 copies in the first week. [7] It has sold 7,700 copies in the United States as of July 2019. [8]
