"Motorbike" was one of three singles from Gold-Diggers Sound, the third Leon Bridges album, released by Columbia on 23 July 2021 alongside "Sweeter" and "Why Don't You Touch Me". The record takes its name from Gold-Diggers, the East Hollywood studio, hotel and bar where Bridges was living while he wrote and recorded it; he set up a residency there, invited musicians in to jam, and wrote his melodies and words over what they came up with.
Nate Mercereau and Ricky Reed produced "Motorbike", and both share the songwriting credit with Bridges, Paris Strother and Dan Wilson.
