Songfacts®:

  • Co-written by Cole with producer Michael Carter and pals Brian Kelley and Tyler Hubbard of Florida Georgia Line, this has a "call me when you get lonely" concept.

    "We ain't gotta make up, just kiss me
    We could straight up blame it on the whiskey
    You ain't gotta wake up and miss me, no
    I hope you get lonely tonight."

    Swindell, Tyler Hubbard and Brian Kelley also teamed up to write Florida Georgia Line's hit single "This Is How We Roll" with Luke Bryan.
  • This topped the US Country Airplay chart. The song clocked 50.6 million audience impressions in the week ending September 28, 2014, according to Nielsen BDS, the biggest weekly audience since the chart switched to ranking audience impressions in 2005.
