[edit] Content
"I Wanna Make You Close Your Eyes" is a country ballad, in which the song's male narrator tells his lover that he wants to fall asleep with her:
Bentley said of the song, "One of the best compliments I can get is when a guy comes up to me and says that one of my songs helped him out at home...maybe helped him smooth something over with his girlfriend or wife. That's the goal with this one."[1]
[edit] Critical reception
Andrew Lacy of The 9513 gave the song a thumbs down for being boring and forgettable, saying, "Here, he sounds as though co-producer Brett Beavers pulled him out of bed early in the morning, put a microphone in front of him and told him to make it quick because Luke Bryan needs to use the studio in 20 minutes." [2]
