Background and release[]
On 1 June 2024, Kylie quoted a tweet from Peck, posted 7 months prior, which sparked rumours of a possible collaboration between the two. She had previously experimented with country music on her 2018 album Golden, some of which was recorded in Nashville. On 2 June during Kylie's headlining show at Outloud Music Festival at WeHo Pride, she invited Peck and Diplo on stage to perform "Midnight Ride" for the first time.
When introducing the song to the audience, Peck dubbed "Midnight Ride" a "disco-country song", blending elements of both himself and Kylie.[1] Following the performance, pre-save links went live, and the song was released on 7 June 2024.
