Co-writer Chris Wallin said upon release of the song, "Working with Jon brought me back to the days when artists wrote and recorded songs that they not only loved but songs that represented what they believed as a person. Speaking for others through music is what true artists do. And that is what Jon is."
Kahn said of writing with Wallin, "I've been in quite a few Nashville writers' rooms and this first write with Chris was truly effortless in that we were totally in sync as to what we wanted the song to be."
During the rally, Elon Musk implored the massive crowd to register and vote.

He added, "President Trump must win to preserve the Constitution. He must win to preserve democracy in America." He told the audience that "you must have free speech in order to have democracy."
The lyrics to "Fighter":
I’ve been down
Counted out
Smiling through the taste of blood
In my own mouth
I got bruises
Broken bones
But they don’t know
I ain’t in this ring alone
I’m a fighter
No one can say that I’m a run and hider
I was born to be a do or die-er
A make it righter
Don’t throw that towel just yet
Don’t cash in that last bet
Cause I hit harder when I’m tired
I’m a fighter
I get back up
That’s what I do
I didn’t soldier on this far just to lose
So take your shot
Is that all you got?
I’m a fighter
No one can say that I’m a run and hider
I was born to be a do or die-er
A make it righter
Don’t throw that towel just yet
Don’t cash in that last bet
Cause I hit harder when I’m tired
I’m a fighter
No one can keep me down
They didn’t know but they know now
That I’m a fighter
No one can say that I’m a run and hider
Don’t cash in that last bet
Don’t throw that towel just yet
I’m a fighter
