"I Need Your Love" shows us a different side of Crockett as the country revivalist is joined by a swinging horn section. The track is a slow waltz that allows Crockett to croon in his hangdog Southern fashion as the track shuffles along. Meanwhile, the music video sees the re-emergence of a rotary phone, not unlike the one that served as a unifying plot device in the cinematic universe of his music videos for 2020's Welcome To Hard Times.

In a statement, Crockett said of Music City USA and "I Need Your Love",

I like to think of my sound as "Gulf & Western," and this number here is all gulf coast music. Something you'd hear out of southeast Texas recording studios or southern Louisiana. I'd been foolin' around with this song for a while, and when we went to record it, we decided at the last minute to double the length of the chorus. I felt right then that we had something. I'd wanted to bring the horns back for a couple tunes on this album. Soul and Country R&B from the deep south is a whole lot of who I am. I hope it shows through on "I Need Your Love."
