• Over a glossy '80s pop-leaning groove accented with handclaps, Little Big Town sing of a woman soaking up the sun by the pool. When she flirts with a good-looking man, the woman imagines a summer fling with the guy.
• LBT's Karen Fairchild wrote the romantic summertime anthem with Sarah Buxton, Ashley Ray, Alysa Vanderheym, Madi Diaz and Savana Santos. "All Summer" was the first song the group recorded after the COVID pandemic, and its fun and hopeful feel set the tone for the Mr. Sun album.
  
  "It was challenging to be away from each other as a band for almost five months," said Fairchild. "It was challenging to be writing songs by ourselves, writing songs on Zoom, and then finally getting the courage to get back in the studio and, that was a great joy just to be back together with our band guys and our engineers, very emotional that day."
  
  "I think we started working on 'All Summer' first and was just such a joyful tune," she continued. "It lit our souls up just being back together making music again with the hope of getting it out to fans this record is really intended to share that joy that you know we've learned a lot of lessons in these last couple years."
• Little Big Town co-produced "All Summer" with Alysa Vanderheym (Jameson Rodgers' "Cold Beer Calling My Name," Kelsea Ballerini's "Heartfirst").
• Vanderheym played the synthesizer on the track and also contributed percussion with Hubert Payne. The other musicians are:
  
  Acoustic Guitar: Tim Galloway
  Keyboards: Akil Thompson
  Electric Guitar: Evan Weatherford, Tim Galloway and Akil Thompson
  Bass: John Thomasson
  Drums: Hubert Payne
• "All Summer" grew out of a series of relaxed but productive writing retreats when Fairchild started collaborating closely with several of the co-writers outside the usual Nashville studio routine. The writing sessions often took place along Florida's Panhandle. The group would travel separately, then spend several days writing, relaxing, and building creative chemistry away from the pressures of Music Row.
  
  "We started writing in 2020, and would go away quite a bit together," Madi Diaz told Billboard. "We connected in the Panhandle; it's a seven-hour drive from Nashville, and we could just go down there in our respective cars and spend time over a few days and write and hang out."
  
  The uncertain atmosphere of the COVID-19 pandemic added an unusual emotional backdrop to the sessions. "Time was weird back then; you couldn't tell if it was going to end tomorrow or stretch on into infinity," Diaz said. "It was really crazy, hanging in the balance with Karen Fairchild and the songwriters Sarah Buxton and Savana Santos. It was so fun to feel so understood and supported by Karen."
