"Ladies in the '90s" was written by Lauren Alaina, Jesse Frasure, and Amy Wadge, and produced by busbee.[1] Lyrically, the song pays homage to female artists and hit songs from the 1990s, a "decade of female superstars" that Alaina (who was born in 1994) looks back on fondly for its abundance of women on the radio that inspired her to become a singer.[1] The song makes references to major country hits like "Strawberry Wine" and "Man! I Feel Like a Woman!", while also name-dropping songs from other genres, such as Britney Spears' "...Baby One More Time", Spice Girls' "Wannabe", and TLC's "No Scrubs".[2]

The music video for "Ladies in the '90s" premiered on May 29, 2019, and features Alaina acting as a QVC spokesperson displaying popular products of the 1990s. It was directed by Benjamin Skipworth. [3]
