Pearce co-wrote the song with Gorley and Shackleton in late 2020, following her divorce from Michael Ray.[2] Upon Pearce first playing the song, it would pick up a large reception among fans.[3] It eventually became the third single from the album 29: Written in Stone, after radio stations had also inquired about it.[2]
The song describes a breakup from a female perspective, listing off everything the male lover "didn't do" in the relationship, rather than detailing what he did to end it.[4]
Before the song's release as a single, it charted on Hot Country Songs at number 43.[5] Upon release, it would debut at number 53 on Country Airplay.[6]
