Content and history

McCreery wrote the song in 2015 when having a conversation with Jessi Alexander, Jonathan Singleton, and Frank Rogers about the progress of his life to that point. He said that the song is "about life and balance and knowing who you are."[1] Jeff Ray directed the song's music video, which features a split-screen effect portraying everyday scenes of McCreery's life with his wife and dog, as well as footage of him performing in concert.[2] Billy Dukes of Taste of Country thought that the song's central theme, lyrics, and production showed continual artistic growth since McCreery's first albums.[3]
