Content

The song is about a man who feels conflict over a relationship, [4] saying that it was "all alright, now it's all wrong."

Ghent plays an electric guitar solo. [5]

Commercial reception

Up to July 30, 2014, the song had sold 58,000 copies. [6]

Critical reception

Alanna Conaway of Roughstock gave the single a positive review, stating that it is likely to add another huge hit to the band's ten number one hits and that it was one of the best singles of 2014. [7] Jon Freeman of Country Weekly rated it "B+", praising the Southern rock influences of the production and the "impressionistic metaphors" of the lyric, but adding, "It also comes with a challenging, rangy melody that exposes some of the typically solid Zac's weaknesses as a vocalist. But the band's musicianship is as impressive as ever." [4]

Music video

The music video was directed by Cole Cassell and was premiered in July 2014. [8]
