It was released on August 15, 2004 as the third single from her 25th studio album Room to Breathe (2003).
The song became a decent commercial success, peaking at number seven on the Billboard Hot Country Songs and number 59 on the Billboard Hot 100.[1]
In "He Gets That from Me", the narrator is a mother describing things that her son "gets from her", such as waking up with an attitude and having freckles. Later, it describes things the son gets from his father, like playing guitar and cracking jokes. It is later revealed in the final verse that the son's father has died, with the son praying to the Lord for him and his mother to make it through and to make sure to tell his father they are okay.
