The song was written by Minogue, British singer-songwriter Amy Wadge, and American musician Jesse Frasure. The track was produced by Frasure, the only track from Golden to be produced by him. [4] Minogue dedicated the song to fans, and referred to the track as a "love letter" on social media website Twitter. Lyrically, the track speaks about Minogue taking a break from music, with lyrics such as "I just need a little time to hide". [5]
The song, a pop ballad, was recorded during a two-week stay in the city of Nashville, Tennessee in July 2017. It was one of three songs to be recorded in the city, alongside the album's lead single "Dancing", and title-track "Golden". In an interview with Billboard , Minogue described these three songs as making the "homestretch easier", referring to finding creative direction during the process of creating Golden. Additionally, Minogue stated that she knew these three songs were "keepers" after recording them. [6] [3]
In October 2018, it was announced that the song "Music's Too Sad Without You" would serve as the album's fifth and final single. The song, a duet with English singer Jack Savoretti, was supported by appearances on TV shows such as The X Factor , The Jonathan Ross Show and Michael McIntyre's Big Show . "Music's Too Sad Without You" remained the album's final single in the majority of markets, however in November 2018 it was announced that "Sincerely Yours" would impact contemporary hit radio in Australia and New Zealand.

The song received mixed reviews upon the release of Golden. Tim Sendra of website AllMusic compares the track to the music of Canadian duo Tegan and Sara, due to the "flimsy" vocals. [10] Sal Cinquemani of Slant Magazine comments that the song is representative of Minogue's anxiety about her career. Cinquemani additionally suggests that the track could be interpreted as addressing fan's wishes for Minogue to return to dance-pop styles of music. [11] Ben Cardew of Pitchfork negatively refers to the track as being "lightweight", and commented that the track includes "flimsy strings and a vocal hook which suggests Kylie wanted to go full "Where Are Ü Now" dolphin flute but couldn’t quite find room in the budget". [12]
"Sincerely Yours" was included in the setlist for Minogue's promotional concert tour, Kylie Presents Golden. The tour, which visited only smaller venues, comprised five shows in Europe and one show in North America.
