Background and content

[edit]

Before Lainey Wilson would have breakout success in 2021 with the song "Things a Man Oughta Know",[2] she released a series of recordings both independently and through other labels. Prior to 2021, Wilson signed with the BBR Music Group and would release her debut extended play (EP) titled Redneck Hollywood.[3] The project was produced by Jay Joyce.[4] The album's title was derived from the track "LA", which references the phrase "redneck Hollywood".[5] The EP was a collection of four tracks, all of which featured co-writing credits from Wilson herself.[1][4] The opening track "Straight Up Sideways" was described by Wilson as being a "good ole party song". In regards to the second track ("Dirty Looks"), Wilson commented, "In my opinion, there’s nothing sexier than going to grab a beer with your man after he’s been busting his tail at work all day long."[6]
