Songfacts®:

  • Carrie Underwood explained to msn.com why her voice sounds different on this song: "You get different feelings from different songs, and that one always just felt soft and vulnerable. It's a song about being disappointed. And, yeah, it's not so vibrato-heavy - but I guess it's good that I can do something that sounds different, maybe something surprising."
  • Ten years after Carrie Underwood recorded the song, Rascal Flatts put their own spin on it, covering the tune for their 2017 Back To Us album.
