Langley's song was written in 2024 during a songwriting retreat with Miranda Lambert. The song began with a conversation about a pet kangaroo Lambert had previously owned. Luke Dick and Joybeth Taylor were also among the song's writers.

Langley said she immediately knew the song would be the first single from her second album, Dandelion, after it was previewed on stage for the first time in February 2025. Langley, a 27-year-old artist from Alabama, won all seven categories in which she was nominated at the Academy of Country Music Awards, including female artist, artist-songwriter, single and song categories.

The song became one of only two songs to spend more than 20 weeks on the US charts, alongside Mariah Carey's All I Want for Christmas Is You. One Sweet Day held the record for 16 weeks at number one for 23 years. The Despacito remix tied that record in 2017, while Old Town Road surpassed it the following year with 19 weeks at the top.
