Content and history

McCreery wrote the song in 2015 when having a conversation with Jessi Alexander, Jonathan Singleton, and Frank Rogers about the progress of his life to that point. He said that the song is "about life and balance and knowing who you are."[1] Jeff Ray directed the song's music video, which features a split-screen effect portraying everyday scenes of McCreery's life with his wife and dog, as well as footage of him performing in concert.[2] Billy Dukes of Taste of Country thought that the song's central theme, lyrics, and production showed continual artistic growth since McCreery's first albums.[3]

gollark: Oh, uniforms are bad, why even *have* those (except to produce conformity, which is an unstated goal of lots of schooling I think)?
gollark: But it forces you to do lots of things even when you don't particularly like them and are uninterested in continuing them.
gollark: One example *is* excellent evidence of general trends, yes.
gollark: My school was mostly okay, but I think it's a suboptimal system for anything but somewhat bad subsidized childcare.
