Rhett discussed the autobiographical song with Taste of Country :
"It covers my college years, marrying Lauren, becoming a dad and the evolution of my music career. It's definitely the most personal song I've ever written, but we all go through a lot in life whatever the story is, so I think the sentiment is something a lot of people can relate to."
The song is covered with "slick production and Rhett's slowed talking/singing style." He speaks about how his life has evolved over the years of his life and how he would never want a thing to change.
The radio edit features a lyric change reflecting the birth of Ada James. The line in the third verse where Rhett sings, "Now Lauren's showing, got one on the way" is altered to "Now there's Willa, and sweet Ada James." [5] [6] It was featured on the digital deluxe edition of the album of the same name and his first compilation album 20 Number Ones (2023).
The song has sold 189,000 copies in the United States as of October 2018. [7]

[9] The video features his wife Lauren and two daughters Willa and Ada James on tour, along with him performing with his band on stage. [10]
