Background

Brody remarked that it is "very rare for me to relate so strongly to a song that I didn't write", but the "first time I heard this one I knew it was meant for me." He believed that the song "tells a story that so many of us can relate to." [3] The song is the follow-up to Brody's number-one single "Where'd You Learn How to Do That". [4]

Critical reception

Nanci Dagg of Canadian Beats Media stated that the song shows Brody's "deep-rooted beliefs in standing up for what is right and takes listeners through the all too familiar story of seeing someone you love and care for give their heart to someone who doesn't deserve it". [3]
