Content

The song is about a male who is heartbroken, but claims that he "won't be lonely long" once he goes to a bar and parties with his friends.

Critical reception

Kyle Ward of Roughstock gave it 3½ stars out of 5. He contrasted it with Dierks Bentley's "How Am I Doin'", saying that it lacked that song's "sharp tongued wit", but said that it was "still an infectious listen that’s not over-produced, has a sound beat, and will be a welcomed sing along". [1]

Music video

The song had two music videos: an acoustic one released in 2009, and a second using the album version. The latter was directed by Wes Edwards.
