"I had no idea after writing this song at the beginning of 2023 how much deeper of a change my life was going to take, and I'm shook that it resonates with me today even more than it did then. from needing a martini and therapy session with my best friend at our favorite new haunt, to a trauma dump writing session turned manic giggle fest, to the hometown energy of every Lunatic show... my friends, family, cowriters, and fans still showed up. if it's 2000 people or just 1, you only need one hand to help you out. also, to be frank, with everything going on right now, l just wanted to put out something vibey and fun."

—  Maren Morris, on the process behind "People Still Show Up". [12]
