Content

According to Davis, the idea from the song came from his friend and co-writer Lonnie Fowler, who recalled slow-dancing to country music while on his first date with his wife. Davis said that it "is the definition of a country song" due to it storytelling and short length.[1]

Commercial performance

The song has sold 53,000 copies in the United States as of March 2020.[2]

Music video

Davis debuted the video in July 2019. The video, directed by Patrick Tracy, features various nostalgic events in the life of a young man. Davis's wife, Kristen, appears in the video.[3] Various parking lots throughout Gallatin, Tennessee are featured, as Davis felt that the city reflected the "universal" theme of the song.[1]
