Background and release
Hunt stated that the song is a "metaphor for a small-town guy who was raised with traditional values, a lot of those rooted in church and faith".[4] He added "important we think about these things and don't accept rules because they are rules. We should try to understand the 'whys' behind the things we do, and the moral structure we apply to our lives".[5][6]
Hunt debuted the song live at a "Bud Light House Party" event in Calgary, Alberta in September 2019.[7] It was the first new song performed by Hunt after he had gone over two years since releasing the single "Downtown's Dead".[8] He officially stated "Sinning with You" would be on his second studio album after performing it.[9]
