"AA" is a song that conveys Hayes' anxiety as a dad and his love for wife, as well as his sobriety.[2] In a press release, he said: "I've struggled with alcohol abuse and sometimes I wish I didn't need AA, but I do. I think a lot of people can relate to that".[3] In an interview with Celebsecrets, Hayes called it as "A Dad-Anthem".[4] Chris Parton of Sounds Like Nashville described the song as a "chasing his dreams while juggling fatherhood, marriage and his all-too relatable vices".[5]
