Songfacts®:

  • Rory Feek is the songwriting half of the husband and wife duo Joey + Rory, and he wrote this song with Joey Martin and Tim Johnson. In our interview with Joey and Rory, we asked him about this song, where they sing about how they value their fans. Rory explained: "I think it's ultra-important. We don't really write songs for our fans, we write songs for everybody. I think you make fans because fans relate to what you talk about. And if you're not talking about anything, the fans are just a fan of your singing or whatever. What we really love to do is share parts of our lives, and that's how we find our fans: they relate to what you're speaking about and what's important to you. And this song, above every other song we recorded or that we have, really hits home the most. This is how our lives would be and the cornerstone of our music."
