On July 8, 2016, Lori McKenna released her rendition of "Humble & Kind" as a single from her album, The Bird & the Rifle, released on July 29, 2016.

McGraw released the video to the song on his Facebook page on January 21. At the time of the video release, the song was expected to be released as the second single from the album in early February. The video was the result of a brainstorm McGraw had while running on a treadmill and seeing a 30-second trailer for Oprah Winfrey's Belief series. After taking some initiative, McGraw got Winfrey to avail footage for the video. The video, which was directed by Wes Edwards, featured scenes from around the world from Winfrey's fall 2015 documentary series. The video won the top honour, "Video of the Year" at the 2016 CMT Music Awards.
