Background and composition
In a press release on the same day that the song was released, duo member Dan Smyers shared his thoughts about it: "I don't think I've ever been prouder of a song that I am this one. We wanted to have something that was a real moment, and when we started writing this, it felt like it could be something big. I wanted every section to build, and even in the second chorus, when you're like, 'Okay, there's no way it could possibly get any crazier,' then Shay takes off even further."

"Save Me the Trouble" is a country pop song and power ballad. Dan + Shay announced the song three days before its release and announced the album two days later.
