The song was recorded in Nashville and highlights a blend of musical styles, weaving together elements of R&B with energetic influences from grunge, rap-rock, and the rebellious spirit of the 1990s. The powerful guitar riffs and confident beats create a lively atmosphere, reflecting the vibrant energy of East Nashville and capturing the essence of creativity that grows in music-loving cities.
The song talks about finding excitement in an area that's rapidly changing. The band describes "Motorbike" as a tribute to the small, spontaneous adventures that musicians experience during their week, such as nights out at bars and the thrill of simple escapism. Inspired by an actual motorbike in East Nashville, the track feels genuine, making you envision yourself riding along and seeking inspiration.
The song is propelled forward with Scott and Plevyak's intertwined vocals, delivering their lines with a mix of toughness and charm. The rhythm section, featuring Rentfrow on bass and Mascarello on drums, keeps the energy high. The band took charge of its production, striking a balance between energy and a polished sound. Each powerful guitar riff and steady beat hits hard while still retaining a gritty, unrefined edge, reminiscent of the rebellious blues of bands like the Replacements.
