A scheduled Chris Stapleton concert in Cincinnati encountered significant disruption from severe weather, forcing the opening act to cancel and delaying the main performance by two hours. Rather than abandon the event, Stapleton used the unexpected break creatively—composing a new song during the delay and premiering it for the crowd that chose to stay despite the challenging conditions.

The unreleased track, which fans named "Waiting On (A Lightning Strike)," drew thematic inspiration from the weather disruption itself, featuring lyrics about uncertainty and storms. Concertgoers responded enthusiastically to both the song and Stapleton's decision to acknowledge their perseverance, with one attendee calling it the best concert they had attended. The event demonstrated how live performance challenges can become opportunities for spontaneous artistic moments.
