Background

After moving from Vancouver-based 604 Records to the Nashville-based Big Loud Records, Smith took a break from sending singles to Canadian country radio for the first time in ten years as a solo artist. [3] Smith stated that when doing A&R with his label, he always wants to pick the "most impactful song" every time. [5] He and Big Loud wanted to wait for a "banger", and initially had a different song selected to be his debut single on the label before his labelmate Ernest sent "Hide from a Broken Heart" to Smith's producer Joey Moi. Smith said they immediately decided this song would be his Big Loud debut, adding it is a "beautifully written song" with "hooks everywhere". He stated that the song has "a very universal theme – everybody’s been through this heartbreak, we’ve all got to learn that you cannot run from heartbreak, you must face it and go through the fear in order to heal", while it has a lot of "stylistically different things in it" that "represent what I can bring to a song". [5] He originally intended for the song to be included on an extended play that would be supported by his headlining "Some Things Never Change Tour" in the spring and summer of 2022. [3]
