Background
"Straight Line" was the first song released by Urban in more than a full year. He stated that it was the "perfect first track" off his upcoming album "because it's a song born of wanting to break out of routine and feeling like somewhere along the line, life lost some colour and excitement". Urban added that it "is about getting it back again – a message of taking back your life and driving out from under the dark cloud". He remarked that the song "represents an energy and spirit that became a through line" for the entire album.

Critical reception
Jeremy Chua of Taste of Country described "Straight Line" as an "energetic song", noting a "blend of pop and country influences" as Urban "glides through a catchy melody to celebrate life and fiercely living out one's dreams". An uncredited review from ABC Audio described the song as "an anthemic fresh track".
