I'm exploring that possibility right now. Music has always been a pillar for me, especially the genres I love, like traditional country.

Speaking to Rolling Stone, Johnson revealed his interest in making music a more significant part of his professional life. "I'm exploring that possibility right now. Music has always been a pillar for me, especially the genres I love, like traditional country," he stated. He finds music particularly appealing because it lacks the intense pressure associated with his film projects.

"This song is just a song to me that I dedicated to my daughters. There's no pressure to think about sales, or earnings, or number of streams. It's just something from me to them," Johnson explained. He noted that his musical aspirations date back to his teenage years, and he has previously ventured into music through a collaboration with Wyclef Jean and by performing the song "You're Welcome" for the Disney film "Moana."
