Lainey Wilson would later reach breakthrough success with 2020's "Things a Man Oughta Know". Prior to that, Wilson had been performing and recording as a country artist in Nashville, Tennessee for several years. One of the projects she released prior to 2020 was Tougher.[2] The album was recorded between 2015 and 2016 in Nashville, Tennessee. It contained a total of ten tracks[3] and was produced by Frank Foster.[4] The album's title track describes the loss of a friend, a grandfather and Wilson's other experiences during childhood.[5] In an interview with Songwriter Magazine, Wilson reflected on the content of Tougher: "...It’s so cool to go back and listen to the music that I put out years ago. I’m proud of how far I’ve come, and I’m seeing that growth in my writing. But more importantly, just me as a human, the more life you live, the better songs you write."[6]
Tougher was preceded by the release of its title track. The song was issued as the lead single off the project in 2015.[7] The album itself was released on April 8, 2016, via the Lone Chief label. It was the second full-length studio album issued in Wilson's music career. It was offered as both a compact disc[3] and as a digital release to platforms which included Apple Music.[8] The album received enough attention where it charted the Billboard Top Country Albums survey. Spending one week on the chart, Tougher peaked at number 44 following its release in April 2021.[9]
