Background and release
On 1 June 2024, Minogue quoted a tweet from Peck, posted 7 months prior, which sparked rumours of a possible collaboration between the two. The following day, during Minogue's headlining show at Outloud Music Festival at WeHo Pride, she invited Peck and Diplo on stage to perform a new song.

When introducing the song to the audience, Peck dubbed "Midnight Ride" a "disco-country song", blending elements of both himself and Minogue. Following the performance, pre-save links went live, and the song was released on 7 June 2024.
