History
[edit]Tyler Hubbard wrote "Back Then Right Now" in 2023 during a writing session with David Garcia, Jessie Jo Dillon, and Geoff Warburton at Garcia's studio. Warburton began playing a riff on one of Garcia's guitars which was in an alternate tuning, creating a two-chord pattern to which the others added. Dillon provided the lyric "back then, right now", which she said came from a comment her uncle made about a truck he owned. The four of them decided on making a song with a theme of nostalgia, about which Garcia stated, "Turns out that if you slow down a little bit, you might enjoy this gift of life we have a little bit more." After completing a demo track, Hubbard took it to producer Jordan Schmidt. The final recording includes a number of guitar tracks and a Dobro, all played by session musician Jonny Fung.[1]
