Brad Rempel of High Valley and Granger Smith had become friends as fellow songwriters, with Smith previously recording two songs that Rempel had written: "That's Why I Love Dirt Roads" and "Buy a Boy a Baseball".[4] Smith remarked that he trusts the songs Rempel sends to him. Rempel wanted to record "Country Music, Girls and Trucks" with Smith, so they agreed to a trade-off: Smith would join High Valley on the song so long as Rempel joined Smith on his farm in Texas to film the music video.[4] Rempel added that "as tongue in cheek and as ridiculously on the nose as the title is, if you actually listen to the lyrics, in my opinion, it's telling an actual story that’s true".[4] He and Smith posted childhood photos on several social media platforms to promote the release of the song.[5]
The official music video for "Country Music, Girls and Trucks" premiered on After MidNite on May 20, 2022.[6][7] The video was directed by Josh Gicker,[8] and shot on Granger Smith's farm in Texas during his second annual "YeeYee Day".[9] It features Rempel and Smith driving a truck, and many others enjoying "YeeYee Day" in trucks, ATVs, and jumping into a lake.[9]
The song first entered the Canada Country airplay chart at number 41 for the chart dated June 6, 2022. The song peaked at number 6 on its 21st week on the chart, while also debuting at number 87 on the Canada Hot 100 during the same week.
