Background and writing
The song originated when James Otto contacted his friend, songwriter Jim Femino, while Femino and D. Vincent Williams were grocery shopping in Nashville, Tennessee. Otto expressed his interest in collaborating on a song, and Femino suggested including Williams, who had not previously met Otto. [2]
The three met at Williams's house, where Williams remarked on the "sex appeal" in Otto's musical style, drawing a comparison to Conway Twitty. [2] Williams developed a melody that he recorded on his computer; upon hearing it, Otto felt it conveyed a "sexy" quality and was inspired to create lyrics to match, ultimately arriving at the title "Just Got Started Lovin' You". [2] The group recorded a work tape, which they presented to singer and producer John Rich (of Big & Rich), who selected the song as the lead single for Otto's album Sunset Man. [2]
Musically, the song is set in the key of G major, has a tempo of approximately 92 beats per minute, and is written in common time (4/4 time signature). The chord progression for the verses follows G–Am7–C–D–G. [3]
