Songfacts®:

  • Craig Morgan penned this account of a romantic evening spent under a star-lit sky with This Ole Boy co-producer Phil O'Donnell and Phillip Lammonds. He told Yahoo! Music that it was an unusual song for him to record: "I've always wanted to have a sexy song," he said, "but I've never really found one or wrote one that I felt was workable on the album or 'Craig Morgan-like.' We wrote this, and as soon as we finished writing it, I knew that it was something I was never gonna pitch - that I absolutely had to cut it myself. And I'm so glad, because in my opinion, it's one of my strongest songs vocally on the project. I get to show off my vocals in ways that I've tried to do in the past."
