Miller told the Surrey Now-Leader how he came to record the song:
"Kelly [Archer] and I were writing another song (“I Would Be Over Me Too”) in Nashville, and after we finished writing that one, she said ‘Hey, I like your voice and your style, what you’re doing, and I think I have another one for you.’ So they pitched me ‘Pillow Talkin’ and it went from there."[5]
The song was sent to radio on Christmas Day in 2019.[6]
