The song's lyrics are a salute to women of various ages (who are "about thirteen," "about twenty-five," and "about forty-two") dealing with the struggles of different phases of life–starting high school and facing new pressures, coping with uncertainty about a career, and reaching middle age–and tells them "You're beautiful the way you are."
McBride's first two daughters, Delaney and Emma, sing backing vocals on the song, as do fellow country singers Carolyn Dawn Johnson and Faith Hill.
