Content

Before Brice recorded the song, he had performed it in concert. He told The Boot that he chose to release it a single because whenever he performed it in concert, fans would hold up pictures of their sons. The song is about emotions expressed by a father to his son.[1]

Critical reception

An uncredited review in Taste of Country called it "a song that will connect with every father (or any parent) who is watching his children grow up too fast right before his eyes", while also praising the "gentle, lilting acoustic bed track" and Brice's singing voice.[2]

Commercial performance

The song peaked at No. 14 on the US Billboard's Hot Country Songs chart for the week dated March 10, 2018.[3] It has sold 256,000 copies in the United States as of April 2018.[4]
