Smith then stated "I watched him emerge as an artist. I cut a few songs of his in the past but getting a sneak peek at what he was doing as an artist,a lot of his rock-influenced in-your-face country music resonated with me because it’s kind of my jam. I love that stuff and he and I just kind of clicked". [2] Smith also said the track "is a song [Hardy] had kicking around and I tried the verses a little bit,but Michael wrote those parts and they needed the twang that only he can do". [2]
