"Don't Mind If I Do" is Riley Green's second duet with fellow Alabama native Ella Langley, following "You Look Like You Love Me." While "You Look Like You Love Me" plays with a lighthearted pickup line, "Don't Mind If I Do" delves into the bittersweet heartache that lingers after a breakup. Green opens with a lone-man-walks-into-a-bar kind of vibe, pining for his ex and feeling his way through that perfect storm of longing and Jack Daniel's. By the time Langley steps in, it's clear that neither character is ready to let go. Green's rich vocals bring out the song's unexpected twists while Langley's silky harmonies bring a touch of warmth to the melancholy. "Don't Mind If I Do" is a solo Green write that he always intended to be a duet. He had Langley come by the studio to put a female vocal on the demo, and she crushed it. "It sounded so great," he told Apple Music. "And we're from very similar areas in Alabama, and I think we grew up listening to the same kind of music. So maybe that's why our voices kind of go well together and we got the same kind of twang." Riley Green and Ella Langley debuted the song live on August 24, 2024 at Festival Country Lotbinière 2024. Green introduced "Don't Mind If I Do" by revealing that it was a new one he'd written, and it was their first time ever performing it together. He tossed in a request for a bit of grace, grinning as he warned, "If we mess it up, don't post it." The crowd's cheers said it all: they were all in, mess-ups and all. "Don't Mind If I Do" is the title track of Riley Green's third album. The record continues Green's signature sound, blending classic country and southern rock with 90s influences. It leans further into inspiration from his small-town life in rural Alabama. The album was produced by Dann Huff with executive producers Scott Borchetta and Jimmy Harnen.

I've been doing better, I hardly ever
Think of you lately
But it ain't all sunshine when you cross my mind
I start missing you like crazy

I try to numb the pain
But there ain't no damn way
I end up in that place
And I'm just one whiskey away

And I don't mind if I do
Drink up the nerve to show up at your house
If you wanna know the truth
It's killing me not holding you right now
And I'm one memory away from falling all the way apart
'Cause I might still love you
I hope you don't mind if I do

I almost quit drinking
For a while I quit thinking about you
I got a little sleep
But some nights I can't control it
Sometimes I give in 'cause not having you
Is hard on me

But when I give into that vice
And pour another over ice
Well, girl, I know that's when
I'll start missing you again

And I don't mind if I do
Drink up the nerve to show up at your house
If you wanna know the truth
It's killing me not holding you right now
And I'm one memory away from falling all the way apart
'Cause I might still love you
I hope you don't mind if I do

Need you to pick me up when I'm
Covered in that goodbye dust
You're the only thing to get me through

Well, I don't mind if you do
Drink a little too much and show up at my house
It'd be nice to hear the truth
Is it killing you not holding me right now?
If falling into me is the only thing you think
Is gonna get you through
Then I don't mind if you do
I don't mind
