Songfacts®:

  • Blake originally came across this tune when he was looking for songs for Neal McCoy's XII album, which he co-produced. The country star recalled to Roughstock: "When I worked with him and I played it for him and it just didn't do it for him. I remember thinking, 'Oh, thank God he's not into it! I want it for me,' and so I ended up cutting it.
    "It reminds me of 'Honey Bee' a little bit," he added, "just 'cause it's just fun and lighthearted. And those are my favorites. It's not too much to think about. It just is what it is."
  • Shelton named his headlining 2013 summer and fall tour after this song. He told CMT News: "There are still other levels of craziness we can get into, and that's what I was thinking when we named the tour. Because I do think it's gonna be crazier than the last one we did."
