Song Seed From A Drive
- Maren Morris got the phrase "humble quest" while driving around Nashville and brought it into a songwriting session the next day.
- She and co-writers Jimmy Robbins and Laura Veltz treated the session like therapy to unpack what the phrase meant.
Humble As A Weapon
- Maren noticed "humble" was being weaponized against confident people, especially women, and wrote the song to explore that tension.
- The idea framed humility as a pressured expectation rather than a personal quality.
Demo Laid The Musical Foundation
- Jimmy Robbins built the demo by laying drum beats and multiple guitar parts into the computer while Maren focused on melody and lyric.
- The demo's basic musical heart remained on the final record even after Greg Kurstin produced it.
