Songfacts®:

  • Aldean told AOL that this song has a number of different meanings. He explained: "One of them is that if there's something you want to do, you don't have to sell out to get it done. Also for me, it's the recording process. The first two records have been a learning experience for me, and on this third album I'm more comfortable now. When I recorded the first album, I was a singer. Now that I'm going into this third album, I feel more like an artist. I have my own style, my own way of doing things. On this third album, we hit our stride, we blew the doors off, spreading out wings. We're wide open now; we're at full speed."
