The Scott Brothers released a cover of the song with Eric Paslay on January 12, 2017. The music video was filmed at their home in Las Vegas, Nevada.[70] The proceeds from the sale of the single go to St. Jude Children's Research Hospital.[71]
While singing along to the original in while driving, Jonathan Scott thought it would make a good country song.[70] Paslay was originally brought on to do a rap cameo, but they liked his voice so much they invited him to sing on the entire song.[70]
