Davis and Bryan met at an awards show and later became friends. Davis toldSounds Like Nashville : "Luke isn't just a great entertainer; he's a great Dad, a great husband, and a great friend, too. That's what 'Buy Dirt' embodies. When I wrote 'Buy Dirt,' I knew he could relate to the song's message. [...] I left him a text message with the song attached and told him how much it meant to me. He got right back to me within a couple minutes and said he loved it. He wanted to live with it, make sure he would be right for the song. He called me a week later and said yes. He's one of busiest guys out there and for him to be part of it speaks for the song."[ 6]
Davis described the song onToday's Country Radio withKelleigh Bannen : "'Buy Dirt' to me is about faith, family and friends, and really finding your happiness."[ 7]
