Songfacts®:

  • This song, written by duo member John Rich along with Michael Ray, shows off the pair's sensitive side. Ray was mentored by John Rich on CW's singing competition The Next: Fame Is at Your Doorstep, which he won, after which the Florida native became close to both Rich and Big Kenny. "They both have been great to me," Ray told The Boot. "I got to know John first, before Big Kenny. They're some of the most loyal dudes. They're all one big family."

    "John and I started writing together, and I got two cuts on their new record, and their new single," Ray continued. "They taught me that Crown in the morning is fine, and they taught me how to start a great party. And even his charity events are awesome. They know how to make everybody feel comfortable, whether you're doing it for charity or [are] just here to play music."
