It is one of two new songs featured on the compilation, along with "Just a Sip", the rest of the album being composed of songs from Bryan's four spring break-themed EPs.[1] Despite not being officially promoted as a single, "Buzzkill" debuted at number 5 on the US Country Digital Songs chart[1] and a music video was filmed for the song. It was later serviced to country radio.[2]
