Content
An uncredited review in Taste of Country described the song as "a slow, fiddle and steel powered love-lost song that finds the typically plucky 31-year-old hurting."[1] It is about a man who is "ready to start getting back into the swing of things, but still hurting from a breakup that he hasn't gotten over."[2] The song was originally on hold for George Strait, but once it became available to Pardi, he chose to record it.[3]
Music video
The music video, directed by Jim Wright, was filmed in black-and-white. It features the male narrator working on a ranch, interspersed with shots of the man's former lover who has moved to New York City.[4]
Live performance
On March 8 2018, Pardi first performed the song live as a medley with "Heartache on the Dance Floor" on Jimmy Kimmel Live!.[5]
