Morgan said via Instagram he wrote "I Do" "about his girlfriend, recorded it about my fiancée, releasing it about my wife" Kelsea Ballerini, whom he married on 2 December 2017 in Mexico.[1] [2]

Evans serenaded his wife with "I Do" live on stage at the song at Rockhampton's Rockin' Rocky on 30 December 2017 telling Ballerini on stage "This is the first time I'm performing "I Do" as the husband, so I'm just going to sing this to you."[3] [4]

Reception

Drew Fitzgerald from One Country said "The track sums up everything found in that simple vow: falling in love, what he loves about his new wife Kelsea Ballerini, and his hope for their lifelong union" adding "Look out for this one at every 2018 wedding."[5] Courtney Carr from The Boot described the song as "feel good" saying "Evans uses those two sacred words not only as a wedding vow but to show the progression through which every happy relationship goes."[6]
