Background
Shane wrote "My Boy" in 2016, elaborating that it was "inspired by a Facebook post" sent to him that read "I don't have a step-son, I have a son that was born before I met him". Shane said: "I took that to a few of my friends, and I resonated with that being a step father myself, and 3 out of the 4 of us that wrote it could identify with the song somehow." On June 15, 2022 the Recording Industry Association of America certified the song platinum.
