Content and history

Aldean said that the idea for the song came when he sent a request to Tyler Hubbard, one-half of the musical duo Florida Georgia Line, asking for a song with "tempo" to it. He wanted a song that would serve as an upbeat, rock-driven lead single to a new album, because the previous album ( Rearview Town ) was dominated by ballads. Within a few days, Hubbard contacted him with the finished song, which Aldean immediately liked and chose to record. [2] The blog Taste of Country describes the song as a country rock anthem comparable in theme to "The Only Way I Know", "Gonna Know We Were Here", and "They Don't Know". [3]
