During Rutter's childhood, his mother often played Rae's recording of "Put Your Records On". He recorded "Put Your Records On" in the basement of his parents' home after experiencing a bout of depression brought on by the COVID-19 pandemic. In an interview with Rolling Stone, Rutter said, "I couldn’t handle writing a depressing song...I started playing around with the idea of manifesting happiness instead of projecting my own sadness."

It's also currently in the Top 100 on Apple Music Global and iTunes.

In an interview with Rolling Stone about the inspiration behind recording "Put Your Records On", Ritt says: "Right after COVID-19 hit, I wanted to be working on something, but I really felt that - with how depressing the world already was at that point - I couldn't handle writing a depressing song. It was too much. I started playing around with the idea of manifesting happiness instead of projecting my own sadness. It was pretty therapeutic....[I] felt like a lot of the people I know and care about could use a song like this right now.... All the credit goes to Corinne Bailey Rae."

Ritt Momney is the solo project of 20-year-old Salt Lake City native, Jack Rutter, which began as an indie rock band and became a personal outlet for Jack after his bandmates left on Mormon missions and his girlfriend left for college. Sighting James Blake, Earl Sweatshirt, and STRFKR as musical influences, Ritt released his debut album Her and All of My Friends in July 2019. The 13-track LP shows how he grapples with loss, loneliness, and a drift away from Mormon culture. One of his most popular tracks on the album, "(If) The Book Doesn't Sell," tells the story of him questioning religion as a 14 -year-old.
