After extending dates of his One Night at a Time Tour well into 2024, Wallen was first spotted in the recording studio in June 2024. On July 5 and October 18, he released two singles from an upcoming project, respectively: “Lies Lies Lies” and “Love Somebody”.
The then-untitled “Smile” was first teased through an Instagram post with audio of the song on August 7, 2024. Similar to his previous single releases, no information about the song or release date were shared but based on its lyrics, the song was most commonly referred to as “Good to See You Smile”. Lyrics of the snippet were interpreted as Wallen noticing his partner’s unhappiness and seeing her smile for the first time in a while. The song was released without any prior announcement on New Year’s Eve 2024, nearly five months later.
