Content

Underwood co-wrote and produced "Out of That Truck" with David Garcia, with additional writing by Lydia Vaughn.[1] She recorded the song with Jeff Balding at Blackbird in Nashville, TN.[2] The song features a driving tempo and guitar-heavy production, while the subject matter has been compared to Underwood's previous single "Ghost Story" in that it details a post-breakup warning for her ex that he'll have trouble shaking her memory every time he goes for a ride in his pickup truck.[3][4] On her inspiration for the song, Underwood described it as "basically just about the physical markers that somebody can leave behind in your life, and I feel like we've all got those to some extent. Whether you're like walking through the house that you grew up in and you see things of your parents or some book or piece of jewelry or something that it's like, those things remind you of somebody. I feel like if you grew up in a small town like I did, you spend a lot of time in your vehicle. When I think back to friends or people that I dated or whatever, it's kind of like you remember being with them in vehicles, and if you have something that you've had for a long time, you can definitely kind of look over to the seat next to you and almost see the other person there. So, that's kind of what it's all about, you know, a love that is no more, but you've kind of left your mark everywhere".[1]
