Westbrook co-wrote all 17 tracks on Texas Forever and the album was produced by Lukas Scott, with additional production on several tracks by Ryan Youmans.[1] The album's title and central theme serves as a tribute to Westbrook's upbringing in Texas: "I'm so proud of this record. I love Texas, it's shaped so much about who I am. We wrote 50-60 songs for this project and narrowed it down to 17 that I think really represent where I am in my life right now and what I love making as an artist: songs that sound like where I grew up, but read like something that just about anyone could relate to."[1] The album features a collaboration with Mackenzie Carpenter ("Lie to Me").[2]

"House Again" was released as the album's lead single and Westbrook's first to country radio on February 24, 2025.[3] Initially released as a promotional single in October 2024 via River House, it amassed over 45 million streams on Spotify, leading to a record deal with Warner Music Nashville and it being jointly promoted to radio.[3]
