Songfacts®:

  • Bizzle wrote this song when he and his wife were going through a rough patch in their marriage. He explained why he penned the tune to Billboard magazine:

    "I want to promote marriage. In hip-hop, we promote promiscuity, we promote not committing to anything. We objectify women. So I wanted to promote marriage, and committing to your woman. I always have these happy songs, but then when someone listens to the songs and their marriage does not reflect that, they might begin to question if they're in the right situation. So I want to put our trouble out there, too, but it was very hard for me to write."
