Both members of Maddie & Tae, Maddie Font and Taylor Kerr, contributed heavily to the tracklisting, with Font co-writing 15 of the album's 16 tracks (the lone exception being "Heart They Didn't Break"). Kerr's husband, Josh Kerr, produced the majority of the tracks, with Corey Crowder and Chris LaCorte also working on select tracks for the record.[5]
The album is described as telling "stories of resilience, confidence, vulnerability and the bond of friendship and sisterhood" and takes inspiration from both members of the duo starting families and navigating the "ups and downs of their careers".[6] Font and Kerr have three children between them, all born since their previous full-length record was released, so they served as a big draw of inspiration for several tracks on the album, notably "Chasing Babies & Raising Dreams".[7] Font described the creative process for Love & Light as a more mature approach for the veteran artists: "We're confidently past a chapter of our careers where we were blessed with the help of so many people trying to help lead us. We're no longer over-thinkers, people pleasers and servants of country's industry (focus on) country radio success."[7]
