According to Kane Brown the creation of "The High Road" was a lengthy process spanning two years since his previous album release. Despite the extended production time Brown felt the album creation was somewhat rushed.

"Backseat Driver" a track on the album had been circulating in Nashville for five years before Brown encountered it. He connected with the song feeling as if he had personally written it.
A last-minute addition to "The High Road" was the collaboration with Khalid on "Rescue" . This song was written shortly before the album's submission deadline. The track "Body Talk" featuring Katelyn Brown was initially intended as a collaboration with Selena Gomez. However Katelyn Brown expressed interest in the song and ultimately performed the female vocals. The song "Haunted" originated from Brown's experience in a hotel room with a bank vault which inspired a song about feeling haunted that evolved into a reflection on depression. Jelly Roll joined this track as a collaborator.
Another collaboration on the album is with Brad Paisley on "Things We Quit". After Brown posted a snippet of this song online fans commented that they heard Paisley on it. Brown then sent the song to Paisley who contributed to the track and added a guitar solo. "Stay" a Sugarland cover is also featured on "The High Road".
