"I've pedaled upstream where the river ran," they harmonize in the chorus. "I've turned sticks and stones to an olive branch/ I've made a full house from a (expletive) hand/ Yet, here I am, still gotta be bigger than the bigger man." Robbins and Veltz also co-wrote Morris' award-winning hit "The Bones" with the country star. In a note she shared along with "Bigger Man's" release, Oladokun says the song was written on the same day she first met her three co-writers. “We were bouncing ideas around the room, and I had this song idea that came to mind when I was meditating that morning. The idea was about being the bigger man. In my life, I sometimes experience being the youngest and the most inexperienced, and yet I have to conduct myself as though I am way above my years or my maturity. I think it’s an old feeling, especially for women and people of color, of having to be stronger, better, brighter, and harder working at everything just to get a shot. We wrote from that place and the song was born—I’m really proud of what we did. I’m also excited about the friendship and the things that were born out of it. I hope it helps people in the same way that it has helped me.”
