Content Smith shared to the song as "feels like the perfect blend of 2000's rock and heartfelt country. I want to make love songs that cut deep but are still tough. [...] I chose this to come out first because I feel like it really showcases my influences and sonic taste. It’s a bit of a theme song for this new project!"
Critical reception Chad Carlson of Today's Country Magazine said the song had "an honest track that is faithful to country music, while undoubtedly expressing Nate's influences from the pop-rock world of years past".
