"F-150" was originally released in January 2020, and was later included on her independent release The I'm Not Always Hilarious EP.[6] Ottolini described the meaning of the song:
"My ex drove an F-150 and I f’ing hate that truck... It’s about trying to move on and get strong, until you see that one thing that brings you back to the pain. Nothing does that more for me than his white, Ford F-150. This song is a piece of my heart and soul. It’s a true story of personal heartbreak and self-growth."[7]
The song began to gain traction on TikTok in the Fall of 2020 and reached #3 on the Rolling Stone Trending 25 in the United States.[8] This led to her signing with Warner Music Nashville in October 2020.[9][10]
Billy Dukes of Taste of Country called "F-150" an "emotionally satisfying earworm" with "radio-friendly appeal".[11] Chet Daniels of 99.9 WJVL called the song a "standout track",[4] while Complete Country said "The song has a relatable message to those trying to get over someone, and the catchy lyrics and chorus make it hard to get out of your head."[7]
"F-150" reached a peak of number eight on the Billboard Canada Country chart,[14] and #65 on the Canadian Hot 100,[15] marking Ottolini's first entry on both charts. It is also Ottolini's first single to be certified Gold by Music Canada[16] and was later certified Platinum.[17] In the United States, "F-150" debuted at number 59 on the Country Airplay chart.[18]
The music video for "F-150" was directed by Ben Knechtel, and premiered on December 4, 2020.[19][20]
