The song is about an actual experience that Rice had with a female friend in Hawaii. The song expresses nostalgia about experiencing a special night with a lover. It is accompanied mainly by keyboard and guitar. [1] Rice said of the song, "It's got an unbelievable melody to it, and then the storyline -- everyday wants that. Every guy wants to look at a girl like that. Every girl wants her guy looking at her like that. So I think it just connects to people in terms of what they want in life. It's probably my biggest song as an artist to date." [2]
