Songfacts®:

  • Here, Carrie Underwood yearns to rekindle the passionate romance that once burned brightly between her and her partner.
  • Underwood addresses her man, confronting the stark reality that the flames of their love have dwindled over time. Gone are the days of stolen glances and stolen kisses, replaced by hectic schedules and lost connections. But now, she's had enough. She's ready to ignite the spark once again.

    Take me out on the town
    Flirt with me in the dark
    Make my heart skip a beat
    Like only you can do to me


    Underwood is no longer content to wait idly by for the embers to glow again. Instead, she boldly lays out her desires, sparing no detail. Her message is crystal clear: she longs for the wild, exhilarating romance they once shared, and she's not afraid to ask for it.
