Composition
Co-written with Jack Antonoff and Laura Veltz in early 2023, "People Show Up" marks Morris and Antonoff's second collaboration, following the 2023 track "Get the Hell Out of Here". "People Still Show Up" is an alternative pop song, talking about people's reactions from the aftermath of her controversial and highly covered exit from the country music industry.
Reception Emily Zemler of Rolling Stone dubbed the track as a "celebration of positivity." Stereoboards Jon Stickler praised its production and Morris's vocal performance, describing it as a "minimal, slow-build alternative-pop" that showcases "Morris' vocals weaving in and out of drum and bass-driven production".
