Critical reception

The song received a favorable review from Taste of Country , which said that "the specifics are what set the song apart from others that borrow from the same spice rack of country song cooking." It concluded that "the singer isn’t veering from a course that’s clearly working for him." [2]

Music video

The music video was directed by Peter Zavadil and premiered in December 2013. [3] The video is a sequel to the music video of Moore's previous single "Point at You", and begins where the previous video ends (with a police chase). Jesica Ahlberg, who played Moore's girlfriend in the "Point at You" video, reprises her role in this video. The video shows Moore and his girlfriend acting out the song's lyrics by driving around town late at night and running from the police. After stopping at a truck stop so she can change, they eventually find a closed high school, to which they find an unlocked door and break in. She then goes to a trophy cabinet and changes into a cheerleader uniform. It ends the next day, with the two of them in the bleachers watching a high school football game. In between these scenes, Moore is shown standing in the hallway of the school at night, the locker room, and the gym, singing the song and playing guitar.
