Background

"Fix" was written in February 2015 with the intention of co-writer Abe Soklasa recording it for his own album. However, after the song was pitched to publishers, the newly-formed independent label Big Loud Records' manager-partner Seth England optioned the song for the label's flagship artist Chris Lane. The song was "countrified" for Lane, including lyrical changes such as the censoring of "good shit," though it retained some of the dance music and blue-eyed soul influences of the demo.
The song, released in October 2015, is the first release by Big Loud Records which was formed in the summer of 2015. Chris Lane performed the song at the Grand Ole Opry on February 20, 2016.

Commercial performance

The song debuted on the Country Airplay chart in December 2015 at number 50, then debuted on the Hot Country Songs at number 44 two weeks later. The song reached number one on the Country Airplay chart in August 2016, which is the first number one on the chart for Chris Lane. The song has sold 291,000 copies in the US as of August 2016. It was certified Gold by the RIAA on August 26, 2016.
