Songfacts®:

  • This opposites attract love song finds Church singing about a love that "don't make sense to the neighbors, don't look good on paper and sure don't make sense in my head." The track's message of unity is driven home by Church duplicating his own vocal melodies on his guitar.
  • Country singer Joanna Cotten supplied the gospel harmonies. A longtime Eric Church backing vocalist, Cotton had a measure of success as a solo artist in the late 2000s. Her debut single, "The Prize," peaked at #60 on the Country chart in 2007.
