Background

In May 2024, Treaty Oak Revival debuted the song live at a concert in Salado, Texas. Lead singer Sam Canty told the audience that it was about missing his wife and had not yet been recorded. [1] [2] The track went viral on social media afterward, prompting them to record it. [2]

Composition

The song is composed of guitar, drums [3] and a rock and roll-inspired melody. [1] Lyrically, it details the life of constantly being on the road as a result of touring and missing loved ones. [1] [2]

Critical reception

Sam B of Raised Rowdy described the song as a "typical Treaty Oak Revival banger – the melody that sticks with you, the fantastic songwriting and the pure talent of vocalist Sam Canty and the rest of the group. Once the chorus hits, especially, it hooks you and keeps your head bobbing, as does the energetic drum work and chiming guitar. The production is great and amps up the sound that Treaty Oak has become so prominent with." [3]
