  • The song tells the true story of one girl that Chase Bryant just couldn't get enough of. "It wasn't a 'hookup' song as some people have called it," Bryant told Taste of Country with a laugh. "It was more needing that person or wanting that person so bad you can hardly stand it, and you'll do anything you can to get there."

    "I think it's to put the car in drive and hit the gas and go fast as you can and do anything you gotta do to get there, or do anything to have her in your arms," he continued. "That's kind of what that was based around."
  • The music video was directed by photographer Jeff Johnson and premiered in February 2016. "The director spent a lot of time with us out on the road, so it's really the story of me being on the road and just being gone and the girl winds up coming back in the end," Bryant explained to Billboard magazine. "There was no hair and makeup in that video, none of that crazy stuff. It was just really raw, and I think if somebody asked me who I am, that really is me every day. It's the true story and it's just captured on film."
  • The upbeat, guitar-heavy song wasn't always that way. Bryant told The The Boot that his original intention was for it to be, "a lot more stripped down and not necessarily so energetic."

    It was only later on in the studio that the track became more lively.
