Florida Georgia Line broke up primarily because Brian Kelley wanted to pursue a solo career, which took the duo in different directions. Tyler Hubbard was initially caught off guard by Kelley's decision and wanted to continue the duo for another five to ten years before doing solo projects. The split was initiated by Kelley, and although Hubbard supported the idea, he found it challenging to balance both the duo and his solo work. There were also reported tensions after Hubbard released solo music before their next Florida Georgia Line record, breaking an arrangement between them. Additionally, some fan speculation linked their breakup to political differences after the 2020 election, but both members denied that politics was the main cause. Despite the breakup, both have expressed no animosity and left open the possibility of a reunion if circumstances change.
