• Like Adkins' 2005 single "Arlington," this epic tune is written from the perspective of a dead soldier. Adkins explained to CMT.News that in this instance the song asks the question, "What if?" He added: "What if soldiers are in this kind of - I don't want to say purgatory - but that's kind of what it is. What if these soldiers are in a place where they can't rest until the last shot's fired, until war doesn't exist? What if only then they can find peace? I think if we knew that, and if that were true, there probably wouldn't be wars anymore. So I thought that was a real unique way of looking at it. And it pays tribute to soldiers but, at the same time, asks that question."
• This track features the West Point Cadet Choir. Adkins told CMT News that he has, "probably heard that song 50 times, and every time I hear it, it still gives me goose bumps on that last a cappella chorus."
• Adkins and his team had to go all the way to the Pentagon to get permission to record with the choir.
