Background and writing

Lambert began writing the songs on her farm in Tennessee in 2020 with Luke Dick and Natalie Hemby. In 2021, Lambert collaborated with Jack Ingram and Jon Randall on the album The Marfa Tapes, on which "In His Arms", "Waxahachie" and "Geraldene" first appeared in a "stripped" acoustic form.[4] The tracks were re-recorded for Palomino.[5]

"Strange" and "Actin' Up" were released ahead of the album as promotional singles.[6][7]

Lambert collaborated with The B-52's for "Music City Queen" and covered Mick Jagger's 1993 song "Wandering Spirit" for the album.[8]
