Brody wrote "Lightning Bug" by himself, and it was inspired by one of his first songwriting trips to Nashville, Tennessee. He remarked that he wanted to write a song "that captured the magic of being caught up in a warm summer night. It’s meant to tell the story of being in love with that special someone, with an almost dreamlike soundscape".[4]
