Songfacts®:

  • Parachute's lead singer and guitarist Will Anderson co-wrote this track with the Country trio Lady Antebellum. He explained to AOL Music how the collaboration came about: "I went on a tour with them for a few days just to write. We weren't looking for any Parachute songs in it at the time. But we had a chance to write and ended up writing a song for somebody else that [Parachute] loved so much that I called [Lady Antebellum] and said, 'Don't give this to anybody.' And I claimed it for our band. So when the band came back in December to finish up the record, we realized that song really filled what we needed. So we decided to record, and I revamped the lyrics to fit our band."
