"Fulton County Jane Doe" was written by Phil Hanseroth, who has collaborated with Brandi Carlile since her first album in 2005. She told Billboard the story behind the song: "He had just had a little baby girl, and he was reading a story in the newspaper about a woman who was found in a field. She was unidentifiable, and thirty-six years later, no one has ever claimed her. So, she died, and is left without a name. As a new dad, that bothered him fundamentally, so he wrote her a song."
