Songfacts®:

  • Here, Parker McCollum sings of feeling misunderstood, alone, and missing the one he used to hold. He numbs his emotional pain by getting stoned.

    I know it's not the answer but it's all I know to do
    Until I get, until I get, until I get over you
  • McCollum wrote the melancholic song with Brett James (Carrie Underwood's "Jesus, Take The Wheel," Kelly Clarkson's "Mr. Know It All") and Mark Holman (Cole Swindell's "Single Saturday Night," Morgan Wallen's "Don't Think Jesus"). He dropped the track on December 2, 2022.

    "This song says so much while saying so little, which is exactly how I like it to be," McCollum said.
  • Parker McCollum excels in sad songs. The Austin-based singer-songwriter first found success with such heartbreak-themed cuts as "To Be Loved By You" and "Handle On You."
