Content

"New Truck" is a song about a breakup that was inspired by Scott breaking up with his now-wife, Blair Robinson, for several months. Scott explained that it is about a man finding his partner's belongings when sitting in his truck, thus wanting a new truck to stop remembering them. "We've all been in a situation where you and your significant other have broken up, and it's tough. Every time you get back in your truck, you go back to certain memories of them in there as well." [2] [3] Scott wrote the song with Ashley Gorley, Ben Johnson, Hunter Phelps, and Michael Hardy. Scott told American Songwriter that "I have to find stuff that's relatable to me, and 'New Truck' is one of those. It relates to my life, so why try to write something else when I could just record this great song?" [4]

Critical reception

The song was described by Jess of Taste of Country as "relatively upbeat for being filled with heartbreak". [5] Off the Record UK published an uncredited review, which called the song "a fiery break-up anthem that is brought to life on his gritty new music video that will set his memories ablaze". [6]
