Background

Moore said in a statement: "I think it's a poignant lyric for this time in our lives also. 2020 has led my family and I to lead a more simple life than what we are accustomed to", remarking on the beauty in that simplicity. [2]

Content

Chris Parton of website Sounds Like Nashville referred to the song as talking his life since COVID-19 pandemic, Moore also said: "And I think this song is very very poignant if that were to apply to your life as well. Not concerned with certain things that sometimes we get wrapped up in on a day-to-day basis, and now going and borrowing eggs and flour and stuff from your neighbors and all that good stuff that we maybe had gotten away from. I know myself and my family had done that throughout this time. I think this song is very time sensitive in that regard." [3]
