Interesting facts and trivia about Something to Be Proud Of. By Songfacts®.

This song encourages the good things that Americans do, like taking care of a baby, and making a living to keep food on the table. It reminds us that these ordinary things we do are something to be proud of.

Chris Wallin and Montgomery producer Jeffrey Steele wrote the song. The collaboration came about after Steele invited Wallin to come down to Nashville's Omnisound Studio to help him mess with a song idea he had.

The song's narrative is of a father comparing his son providing for the family he loves to his own achievements during the Desert Storm operation. The concept came from Wallin telling Steele about his own dad, who was in the military. "He used to tell us stories about being in the Air Force," Wallen recalled to The Tennessean. "We would sit there glued to them. So that's where the first verse came from, talking about my dad. We ended up writing half of this song in the piano booth at Omni Studio."
