Thomas Rhett said that the song's title was inspired by a trip he and his wife,
Lauren, took to rural
Montana. After noticing he was able to see considerably more stars due to a lack of
light pollution, he came up with the title "Stars Like Confetti". During the
COVID-19 pandemic in 2020, he presented the idea to
Josh Thompson and
Zach Crowell over
Zoom. Crowell thought that "
confetti" was a "softer word" and suggested that the song "tell the story of a guy and a girl". After the song was completed, Rhett worked with Crowell and Devin Malone to record a
demo with the intention of having Rhett record the song for himself. When he declined to do so, Crowell sent the song to
Dustin Lynch. Crowell kept most of the original demo recording intact on Lynch's version, adding only drums and some guitar riffs.[2]
