Pearce, who co-wrote the song with Justin Ebach and Charles Kelley of Lady A, described the song as an empowered anthem for women who've experienced heartbreak,[2] saying: "No one wants to be cheated on, but everyone wants to seek revenge. I wrote this song for every girl who has gone through a similar situation and dreams of wreaking havoc on her ex".[3]
Music video
The music video for "Truck on Fire" premiered on October 14, 2024.[4] In it, Pearce is shown driving a red convertible Ford Mustang to a rural gas station and buying the supplies needed to commit arson on her exes' pickup truck, which leads the police to go looking for her.[2] Pearce recruited longtime collaborator Alexa Campbell to direct the video, and described the process of making the video as "show[ing] a different side of [her] personality, a more silly and fun side".[2]
