Transcription
Content
The song is set in the key of C-sharp major with a vocal range of G♯3-G♯5 and a main chord pattern of C♯-F♯-G♯-C♯.[3]
Critical reception
The song received a favorable review from Taste of Country, which called it "personal, like almost every song on the Hard 2 Love album, but also powerful and experimental like Brice’s early recordings." The reviewer added that "it’s the thump of a deep drum — perhaps a tympani — and loud cry of the pedal steel that provide the song’s signature and any emotional reaction that comes while listening."[4] Matt Bjorke of Roughstock gave the song four stars out of five, writing that "the production and melody behind the lyrics is mid-tempo and right in the core pocket of what Lee Brice does best." Bjorke called it "a strong single choice and a song that should be the beginnings of a successful upcoming album."[5]
Music video
The music video was directed by Ryan Smith and premiered in April 2014.[6]
