==Background and release== One of the song's co-writers, John Byron, discovered that an ex-girlfriend of eight years was now dating a man who was moving to Nashville from Colorado to be near her.<ref name="Billboard">{{cite magazine|url=https://www.billboard.com/music/country/tenille-arts-jealous-of-myself-makin-tracks-1235171367/|title=Makin' Tracks: Tenille Arts' 'Jealous of Myself' Is a Moody Masterpiece With a Classic Misdirection|first=Tom|last=Roland|date=November 15, 2022|magazine=Billboard|access-date=December 16, 2022}}</ref> This inspired the "Jealous of Myself" title, as Byron felt "jealous of him," but "definitely more jealous of me when I did have her." He held onto the title for a writing appointment on January 13, 2022, with Emily Weisband, hoping a woman's perspective would give the song more vulnerability. Byron and Trevor Rosen were initially working with a guitar on the song, but Weisband decided to play the piano which prompted them to use that on the song instead.<ref name="Billboard"/>
Weisband elected to post a demo of "Jealous of Myself" on social media platform TikTok, asking viewers who they thought should sing the song.<ref name="TOC">{{cite web|url=https://tasteofcountry.com/tenille-arts-jealous-of-myself-interview/|title= Tenille Arts Explains the Serendipitous Way She Found Her New Single, 'Jealous of Myself'|date=December 17, 2022|work=Taste of Country|first=Carena|last=Liptak|access-date=December 17, 2022}}</ref> Arts responded with a comment that said "Ummm, you.

==Critical reception== Autumn Smith of ''The Nash News'' favourably reviewed the song, describing it as a "powerful anthem of missing someone that used to be a loved one," adding that "combination of [Arts'] soulful and passionate vocals with moody instrumentals curates the story that she's trying to tell." She added that "it's easy to be hooked on this new song and play it on repeat."<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.thenashnews.com/post/tenille-arts-jealous-of-myself-song-review|title=Tenille Arts "Jealous of Myself" Song Review|first=Autumn|last=Smith|date=October 17, 2022|work=The Nash News|access-date=December 16, 2022}}</ref> Cherise Richards of ''WQMZ'' said that Arts sings "with such passionate vocals that you can't help but feel" the emotion of the song.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://wqmx.com/on-air/cherise-richards/item/12351-new-music-from-tenille-arts-jealous-of-myself|title=New Music From Tenille Arts: Jealous Of Myself|work=WQMX|date=October 17, 2022|access-date=December 16, 2022}}</ref> An uncredited review from ''All Country News'' stated that the track "features poignant and relatable themes, painfully detailed lyrics, and minimalistic production that allows Arts' voice to shine," adding that Arts has "phenomenal vocal technique" and "puts raw emotion behind every lyric and note."<ref name="ACN"/> Jenna Weishar of ''Front Porch Music'' remarked that it is "hard not to be drawn to the emotional value" of the song, and having heard her perform it live, she stated that the "intimate experience of sharing this song with her audience has leveled [Arts] up as a performer."<ref name="FPM"/>
