Songfacts®:

  • This soulful rocker finds Kimberly Perry proclaiming her self worth from the mountaintops. She told Billboard magazine that it is, "a relationship song... about being a free spirit."
  • The Band Perry were the first act to have a Gigi's Cupcake named after them. The 'Very Perry Chocolate Cherry' cupcake was inspired by a lyric from this song. "When we heard that we might have a Gigi's cupcake named after us we knew right away what the flavor would be," said Kimberly Perry. "There is a song on our new album that has a line in it that says, 'I'm gonna change my name to Cherry....,' so we decided that the cupcake had to be some kind of a cherry cupcake."
