Background
The songwriting process for "Bring My Flowers Now" began when Carlile suggested that Tucker finally finish the song she had been trying to write for 30 years. While Tucker was initially apprehensive about it, the track actually came about pretty easily. Tucker explained, "So I went into the restroom to think—I do my best thinking there—went back out, and [Brandi] was in the panel room. And we wrote this song in about 30 minutes. And then we walked in there to the vocal booth, and the band came in, and we recorded it." Tucker would later admit in interviews that she "would have liked to change a few things." She said that Carlile didn't want her to, saying that this album was about Tanya the singer, not Tanya the performer. Carlile told her, "This song sticks. This is what came out of your mouth, and that's the way we're gonna put it on there."
