This steel guitar-laced song leans on a familiar country music theme: the support that alcohol brings. Lambert humorously honors the titular beverage, explaining why tequila brings her more comfort than the beer-guzzling cowboy. The singer goes on to admit that drinking doubles leads her to trouble but nothing else gives her "that border town buzz."
Lambert debuted the song during a gig at the Huntington Center in Toledo, Ohio on September 20, 2019. She introduced it by saying "it's a honky-tonk song and it's about tequila."
Lambert is part of a lengthy list of artists that have paid tribute to the Mexican distilled beverage. Other artists that have released songs inspired by tequila include The Champs, The Eagles, Joe Nichols, Kenny Chesney, Randy Rogers Band and Dan + Shay.
