Shane McAnally, Ross Copperman, and Josh Osborne wrote "Get Along", which Rolling Stone Country describes as a song that "encourages altruism in a world that only gets more complicated when one strays from savoring the simple pleasures." The song is Chesney's first release for the Nashville division of Warner Bros. Records, following an affiliation with Sony Music Nashville's BNA and Columbia Nashville divisions which lasted more than 20 years.[1] Chesney told Nash Country Daily that "When I heard this song, beyond how good the rhythm felt, I was amazed how simply they broke all this stuff down. Get along...find the common ground...know the basic stuff is where the joy, the love, the happiness is."[2]

Chesney performed the song live on the Academy of Country Music awards ceremony on April 15, 2018.[3]
