Songfacts®:

  • This depiction of those carefree moments with a lover at the beginning of a relationship was one of several tracks written by the Lady A trio for Golden during their Own The Night Tour. "We were just kind of in that mindset," said Dave Haywood. "We had that perspective of being on a tour and having seen what translates in an arena. We have a better idea what kind of songs are so relatable where it shakes everybody like, 'Oh, my God, I've totally been there.'"
