Rice wrote "Ready Set Roll" with Chris DeStefano and Rhett Akins, his producer and executive producer respectively. When he met up with the two songwriters he was impressed with how the song came together and wanted both to be a part of his project.

"By the end of the day we went from that [writing 'Ready Set Roll'] to hearing what Chris did in the studio," Rice told Radio.com. "While we were writing the song he was building the track that made it sound like it sounds on radio today. At the end of the day we had a full song. I heard it and was like, 'Why would I do this with any other producer?' 'Ready Set Roll' was a big day. I found my producer. I found my executive producer and I wrote a Gold Record."

Ignite the Night is Rice's third studio album and first major-label release. He says the 15-track album is "packed full of fun." While the party songs like "Ready Set Roll" and "We Goin' Out" prevail on the album, he also shows his sensitive side on several tracks like "Carolina Can" and "Jack Daniels and Jesus." Rice said the album runs through his life and tells people a lot more about him than the fact that he likes to drink Jack Daniels.
