Composition
According to co-writer Hardy, the song "basically wrote itself" in approximately 30 minutes during their writing session.[7] Described as a "neo-traditional" country ballad with a "steel-soaked" and "retro, '90s-inspired" feel, it features lush, reverb-laden guitars and ethereal pedal steel.[5] The track is an introspective "anthem" focused on self-worth and the longing for a life of simplicity and authenticity.[8] Lyrics depict an idealized version of a woman who is "grounded in her faith" and "completely comfortable in her own skin".[9]
