Lambert performed the song live at the 54th Annual Country Music Association Awards.[2]

Composition

Lambert wrote the song with Luke Dick and Natalie Hemby, the same team that wrote her previous single, "Bluebird", and it was produced by Jay Joyce.[3] Lambert developed the song's hook while having an earlier conversation with her bus driver about her relationship with Brendan McLoughlin ("am I settling up or settling down?") and brought that to the writing session, and together they wrote a song "full of paradoxes" that highlighted the whirlwind life of an artist touring the country while also desiring the homestead lifestyle following Lambert's fresh marriage to McLoughlin.[3] Lambert also noted that McLoughlin was one of the song's most ardent supporters and lobbied for its release as a single: "And you know, he was out there with us on the road and he was hearing, when I was hanging with radio, that people were responding to it."[3]

Music video

The music video for "Settling Down" was directed by Trey Fanjoy and premiered on October 21, 2020.[4] It was shot on location at Lambert's farm outside Nashville, Tennessee and features her husband, Brendan McLoughlin, marking the first time Lambert has had a love interest in one of her music videos: "I'm like, 'You're cute, you're here, and you're free.' It was fun; he did such a great job... and our little dog is in it, and our ponies. It's at my magical-happy place an hour away from Nashville."[5]
