During Rutter's childhood, his mother often played Rae's recording of "Put Your Records On" while driving.[52][56] He referred to the original as "one of the greatest pop songs of all time".[57] He recorded "Put Your Records On" in the basement of his parents' home after experiencing a bout of depression brought on by the COVID-19 pandemic. In an interview with Rolling Stone, Rutter said, "I couldn’t handle writing a depressing song...I started playing around with the idea of manifesting happiness instead of projecting my own sadness."[54]
The cover gained traction after being used in a makeup video on TikTok by user Skiian, starting a trend on the platform.[56]
