I hope listeners hear 'Set In My Ruts' and are encouraged to forge their own path...I wanted to create an anthem for those who, like me, have a 'bad habit of being right when we're wrong.' It's about embracing who you are, flaws and all."

"'Set In My Ruts' was inspired by the unsolicited advice us artists often get on how to write a song, or approach our career and industry,” said Hibbard of the tune. “Coming from the pipeline industry, you would never tell someone how to weld, lay pipe, or work. The music industry is the only industry where that seems to fly. While some of the advice is great, and super helpful, 'Set In My Ruts' is my way of voicing my plans to do things on my terms. If I’m wrong, then that’s on me - but at least I’m staying true to myself.”
