The track "Oklahoma Smokeshow" became a standout track and American musician Charles Wesley Godwin features on the track "Jamie".

Background and composition
Two weeks after releasing American Heartbreak, Bryan immediately began teasing new music, beginning with "Twenty So". Bryan would continue to tease this new music a couple of weeks later again with the track "Oklahoma Smokeshow". Bryan would release the title track "Summertime Blues" on 6 July, along with the announcement of the EP.

While developing the EP, Bryan intended for the release to be shorter but track would "slip onto the record by accident". Bryan enlisted the help of collaborator Charles Wesley Godwin, after developing a friendship over social media, and touring together, Godwin featured on the EP's track "Jamie".
