The album's lead single, "A Little Dive Bar in Dahlonega," was released on October 16, 2017. It was a top 30 hit on both the Hot Country Songs[1] and Country Airplay charts.[2] "Radioland" was released as the second single from the album on July 16, 2018.

Jay Joyce is the album's producer. Rolling Stone described the content as "heavy on hooks and set to a radio-friendly blend of heartland riffs and pop-country. But it's also a gently left-field statement for Nashville".[3]

Garth Brooks covered the album's title track under a revised title of "Guy Goin' Nowhere" for his Triple Live album.[4]
