Cody Johnson announced the single in an interview with iHeartRadio's Spencer Graves in July 2023, which was set to be sent to country radio (including WLCY-FM) on August 14.[1] Prior to its release, he teased the song on Instagram with a video of him and his wife Brandi dancing in a field,[2] and later with a video of black and white photos highlighting moments of their relationship which ends with a color photo of their family.[3] Johnson has said his favorite lyric in the song is "For every wall I built, she saw a canvas", adding "If there's anything that describes my marriage with my wife, Brandi, it's that line."[4]
The song is a tribute to Brandi, in which Johnson describes the qualities he loves about her.[4][5][6]
The music video for "The Painter" premiered on January 19, 2024.[7] It was directed by Dustin Haney and features scenes shot on Johnson's ranch in Texas alongside his wife Brandi.[7]
