Background and recording[edit]

Musgraves wrote and recorded most of the songs from the album throughout 2017. When asked about the writing process, she said, "I have a lot more love songs this time around, and I've never been one to write a love song and really feel it." She continued: "That probably sounds like the most depressing thing ever. [But] I'm coming off getting married and being in this golden hour of my personal life, where all these things are finally coming to fruition. I found myself inspired to write about this person and all these things he brought out in me that weren't there before." Pieces of the album were recorded in a studio above a horse stable owned by musicianSheryl Crow.[11]

In a 2019 interview withRolling Stone,Musgraves discussed being under the influence ofLSDwhen composing the songs "Mother" and "Slow Burn" and how it helped her creative process; "I'm not going to tell anybody to run out and do anything that wouldn't be suitable for their mind or their lifestyle, but it did have positive effects for me."[12]

Promotion and packaging[edit]

On March 10, 2018, Musgraves announced the Oh, What a World: Tour in support of the album while performing at theCountry to Country music festivalin London. The first twelve dates of the tour were announced on March 12, through Musgraves stating on social media that tour dates in other countries would eventually be added. The tour began on October 13 inOslo, Norway.[13][14]Musgraves announced a second leg of the tour, titled the "Oh, What a World: Tour II", in February 2019.[15]

Musgraves' sister Kelly Christine Sutton took the cover photo forGolden Hourover a two-day photo shoot in and around their hometown ofGolden, Texas.Sutton, who also is credited with designing the album's packaging, has previously worked with Musgraves for all of her albums' artwork. When considering the cover photo, Sutton recalls Kacey "wanted to use thispaper fan,and we are usually on the same page with ideas, but I couldn't picture it. We went out into this wide open field. We needed one with no trees, so there was sky only. Almost immediately after we reviewed the photos, we just knew we had it. "[16]
