Songfacts®:

  • This song was written by Jess Cates, Ty Lacy and Dennis Matkosky. Martina McBride explained to CMT News what made her decide to record this song: "I love the melody and I just love the sentiment. I think that's something that everybody wants to hear and everybody wants somebody in their life that they can say that to... It's a love song. I haven't done a lot of really vulnerable love songs, but this one, even though it basically says, 'You're the greatest thing ever,' which has been said a million and two times, it said it in a way that I thought was a little bit different and fresh."
