"My ex drove an F-150 and I f’ing hate that truck... It’s about trying to move on and get strong, until you see that one thing that brings you back to the pain. Nothing does that more for me than his white, Ford F-150. This song is a piece of my heart and soul. It’s a true story of personal heartbreak and self-growth." [7]
