Background and recording
Lumsden said, "I went into the record to make songs that were also a little more hopeful, because I'd talked about drought for so long and everyone in the music industry and my family are still going through it. It's not that I didn't want to acknowledge it, I just knew that the people going through it didn't want reminding. They know and they want an escape. I wanted to write about green grass, running water, mountains and sunsets. I was experiencing those things and it was giving me such joy. I wanted that glorious buzz in my songs."

Reception
Liz Giuffre from The Music said "Fanny Lumsden's work covers the best of contemporary country music – acoustic story bases that reward close listening to the lyric sheets. It's rude to give away too much in a review, but let's just say she has a gift for matching the familiar with the unexpected in a chorus."
