Sam Hunt co-wrote this sexy song with Zach Crowell, Josh Osborne and Shane McAnally. It was released as the lead single from the singer's sophomore album, which was produced by Crowell.
Body like a back road Driving with my eyes closed I know every curve like the back of my hand Do 15 in a 30 I ain't in no hurry I'm gonna take it slow just as fast as I can. Speaking with Nash FM's Ty, Kelly and Chuck, Hunt said the song was written after he got engaged to girlfriend Hannah Lee Fowler in Israel late 2016. "I connect music to the emotions that come from relationships, so most of the songs that I write are inspired by those circumstances, emotions, feelings, all that kind of stuff," he explained.
Hunt said that "Like a Backroad helped "lighten up" what was shaping up to be a "heavy" sophomore album and the tune was "a lot of fun to write." "I've been writing songs over the past, I guess, year and a half, trying to conceptualize a new record and it kinda started taking a heavy direction, and I sat down at one point and was like, 'OK, I'm gonna lighten this up a little bit, it needs a lighter flair,'" he explained. ["Body Like a Back Road"] sort of swings, and hopefully it's easy to listen to and will put a smile on some folks' faces."
