• With "In Case You Missed It," Jordan Davis takes a common saying and uses it as a springboard for a thoughtful exploration of romantic regret. He addresses a lost love who has long since left their hometown. The place has changed - there's a "boarded up BP" and the parish bridge has been fixed - but some things remain stubbornly the same, like his love for her. Davis is stuck in time, marooned in the past, hoping she might return and consider giving it another shot.
• Jordan Davis wrote the song with his brother Jacob Davis along with Paul DiGiovanni and Travis Wood, a quartet with a history of collaborations. DiGiovanni has been the singer's producer since his debut album, Home State, back in 2018. The Davis brothers have worked together on hit songs like "Take It From Me" and "Buy Dirt," while Wood, too, contributed to Jordan's catalog with "I Ain't Sayin'."
• Though the song might seem to spill with personal emotion, it's clearly a work of fiction created by the four songwriters. Davis had been married to Kristen O'Connor since 2018.
• The track is a soulful blend of acoustic guitar, banjo, 808 beats, and electric guitar, all of which align perfectly with DiGiovanni's production style (he was the guitarist for the pop-rock band Boys Like Girls between 2005 and 2022). Bryan Sutton's bluegrass flat-picking and Derek Wells guitar riffing add some depth to the song.
