• "Backseat Driver" captures a universal truth in the simplest of settings - a father driving with his little girl at 7:30 in the morning. While the adult is focused on the task at hand, barely noticing the world rushing by, the child in the back seat marvels at the ordinary wonders of life.
• For Kane Brown, this song is personal - a heartfelt ode to life as a father of three, a role that comes with an endless barrage of questions from the back seat. "Backseat Driver" captures the small but profound moments of fatherhood, when you realize these fleeting moments of childhood won't last forever.
• Jacob Davis (Jordan Davis' "Buy Dirt" and "Tucson Too Late") and Jordan Walker (Luke Combs' "When It Rains It Pours," Kane Brown's "Fiddle In The Band") penned this quiet country ode that had been making its way around Nashville for a while.
  
  Brown told Backstage Country that he was surprised the track ended up with him, but once he heard it, he knew it was perfect: "It's every daddy-daughter song, and every dad can relate to it, that's a dad and has a daughter, or, mom and son."
• The music video, directed by Alex Alvga, opens with a fuzzy, black-and-white TV screen framing memories being made with Brown and his family. Then we see Brown recording the track in a small, dusty studio out in the desert before driving off to a remote campsite.
