• Before Jordan Davis married Kristen O'Connor in March 2017, his road to finding Mrs. Right was filled with "Detours." This song, written with his brother Jacob Davis and Dave Turnbull, finds the singer considering the notion that their relationship was meant to be and celebrating being together.
  
  "With Kristen, everybody says that with the way we met - that it was destiny," he reflected to American Songwriter. "To me, it was something I had to keep telling myself. Something felt different whenever I was hanging out with her. It stuck in the back of my mind."
  
  "I guess you could call it fate or destiny," he continued. "Sometimes, I think the good Lord puts people in your life when they're supposed to be there. It's up to us to acknowledge that and see them."
• Davis didn't originally plan on recording "Detours." He saw it as a personal song that he would play at family gatherings or around the fire. But once he found it struck a chord when played live, he changed his mind.
• The sweet, tenderhearted video tells Jordan and Kristen's love story with an autobiographical montage of snapshots. The clip chronicles Davis transition from boy to proud father of daughter Eloise. "It's almost like a wedding video," the singer told People. "It's something that we can go back and look at and see how much we've grown, and hopefully, it's something Eloise will be proud of."
• Jordan Davis's wife Kristen was his muse for "Detours." "I always say that song is who I was before I met Kristen, and the guy I was after I met Kristen," he told The Boot.
