The song is an uptempo, in which the narrator refers to a "Cajun queen" named Adalida. It was inspired by a young lady George Strait met in his hometown, named Ida. He was about to sing at the strawberry festival in Poteet, when he ran into her.

Critical reception

Deborah Evans Price, of Billboard magazine reviewed the song favorably, calling it a "zydeco-spiced single." , and that in the hands of a lesser singer, "a song like this would have been difficult to stretch."[2] Alanna Nash of Entertainment Weekly was less favorable, saying that it "fails to challenge him in even the slightest way".[3]
