When the country single was released, CMT speculated that "Bad Mother Trucker" could be about Eric Church's wife, Katherine Blasingame. "She's the reason I rock, the reason I roll," the lyrics go — the song seems to be about someone who's pretty special to him (even if his wife isn't actually a truck driver). Even if it's not about one specific person, the song's message is clear: Women are just as capable as men, everywhere from the road to the boardroom.

And as far as Church's process went for writing the Soul album, he revealed in 2020 that he'd written and recorded a whopping 28 songs in as many days, all in the mountains of his home state of North Carolina. "We removed all of the barriers about what people think of the song," Church said to executives in 2020, according to the Nashville Tennessean. "Just let it be the most creative thing for that one day, chase that as hard as you can (and) move on. Go on to the next one."

If there's any upside to the quarantine, it's that for some artists like Church, the creative process has become easier with the lack of outside distractions. Writing and recording 28 songs in a month is pretty incredible! Soul is sure to include plenty of memorable country hits, and it will make April 2021 that much better for country fans.
