Background
Brody described "I'd Go to Jail" as a "personal favourite". Inspired by being a father, he wrote the track by himself and stated: "Anyone who has someone in their life that they love can relate to doing anything to protect them and that’s really what this song is about". He added that this was one of two songs he had written—the other being his 2016 hit "Time"—where he felt "goosebumps" as he knew that it was "special".

Jason Schneider of FYI Music News referred to the song as an "emotion-fueled track", adding that it "displays Brody's passion for storytelling while capturing the unparalleled beauty of a father-daughter relationship". Courtney Fielder of Country100.7 referred to the track as "a beautiful tune".
