[1] [2] Fisher said "I wrote this with James Michael Robbins and Jackson Morgan on a day when I felt pretty damn defeated by LA. Change is really hard,but so important. This is my experience,one that almost everyone goes through,hope it helps in some way." [3]
After signing with RCA Records in 2019,the song was re-released on 13 December 2019 as the first single from Fischer's third EP Homework. [4] [5]

Fischer wrote "This City" in 2016 and it was released in early 2018 where it was shared by people including Meghan Trainor and Lewis Capaldi. [6] In 2020 Fischer reflects saying "The song got a lot of eyes on it,but it wasn't getting any love from anyone for a long time except for the fans. When I say anyone,I mean Spotify,Apple,Amazon. But it was a fan-favourite." [6]
18 months later,it was featured on TikTok and as Fischer says "It changed everything for me". The exposure lead to Fischer receiving a DM from RCA Records UK which lead to the signing. [6] [2]
