Akins and Hayslip met while attending high school together in Valdosta, Georgia, before Akins signed a contract with Decca Records in the mid-1990s. Davidson began songwriting in college, where he was roommates with singer Luke Bryan at Georgia Southern University. He and Akins met in 2004 when the two co-wrote "Kiss My Country Ass", which both Akins and Blake Shelton recorded. After Akins brought Davidson to a songwriting session, the three began holding songwriting meetings every Wednesday.[1][2] Among the songs that they have written together are Shelton's "All About Tonight", Josh Turner's "All Over Me", Jack Ingram's "Barefoot and Crazy", Brooks & Dunn's "Put a Girl in It", Joe Nichols' "Gimmie That Girl", and Bryan's "I Don't Want This Night to End".[3] All three members of the team also have co-writers' credits outside their collaborations.[1]
In 2022, the trio began touring as a performing act on Luke Bryan's tour.[4]
