Background
Smith stated that "Use Me" "barely made the record", but it was one of his favourites of the songs he was considering, and he therefore convinced his label, Big Loud Records, to include it on his album. Gabby Shukin of CJVR Today’s Beat Country described the song as being "about a girl that keeps going back to him after she’s having having relationship problems with her boyfriend. And he’s there to hold her and comfort her but it hurts him like crazy. But he says it’s okay for her to use him like that because that’s the closest he’ll ever get to having any relationship with her". In 2024, the song was released to radio formats in Canada, Australia, and the United Kingdom.

Live performances
Smith released a video of "Use Me" live from a concert in Fort McMurray, Alberta, on YouTube. In June 2024, Smith performed "Use Me" during his solo debut at the Grand Ole Opry in Nashville, Tennessee. That same month, he performed "Use Me" live for RFD-TV.

Background and release
In January 2024, Porter announced the album concurrently with the release of four songs: "Easy to Miss", "Young at Heart", "Pay Me Back in Change", and "Nobody's Born with a Broken Heart". The album was Porter's first full-length album to be released in the United States, and marked her debut full-length album on Big Loud Records, six years after signing with the label. Some of the songs on the album were written as early as 2017, while others were written as recently as 2023.

Content
Porter stated that the album's title, Nobody's Born with a Broken Heart, reflects the sentiment that, "we all have these experiences, whether it’s actual heartbreak in a relationship, work heartbreak, family heartbreak or whatever your situation may be. You always feel a little broken from different situations that you had envisioned to go a different way in your head, and overall that builds who you are as a person". Despite being in a happy marriage, Porter elected to record several "heartbreak" songs, including "Pay Me Back in Change" and "Foreclosure", as there "are times even in a really happy, healthy relationship where it feels dark," and that they are "part of the story too". She also remarked that she was happy to have more songs containing the banjo, fiddle, and mandolin on this album.

Critical reception
Madison Hahnen of Music Row stated that the album "features vulnerable lyrics and clever lyrical hooks," noting that it "bridges the gap between country and pop". Hannah Compton of Building Our Own Nashville favourably reviewed the album, opining that it "paints a picturesque journey of heartbreak in a series of songs that are painfully relatable but also lead you onto the road of self healing". Stephen Andrew of Popculture described the album as a "phenomenal offering of pop-country songs full of sincerity, maturity, and driving-with-the-windows-down melodies". Laura Cooney of Entertainment Focus called the album a "strong introduction" to Porter's sound, highlighting "her vocal skills and ability as both a songwriter and an interpreter".

Early life
Stevens was raised in Coquitlam, British Columbia, but moved to Surrey when he was thirteen years old. In his twenties, he elected not to pursue a full-time music career as he was working a career in construction, got married, and was starting a family. In 2013, Stevens suffered a serious brain injury in a wakeboarding accident in Tulameen. After recovering, he began thinking once again about pursuing a career as a musician, and eventually began the process of doing so.

Career
In 2022, Stevens released the song "Cochrane Avenue". The next year, he released "Tomorrow Today", his first single to Canadian country radio. The song would later reach the top 50 on the Billboard Canada Country chart. In 2024, he was a semi-finalist in the SiriusXM Top of the Country competition. Stevens also released the single "Whiskey in Colorado" in January 2024. The song has since reached the top 20 on the Canada Country chart.
