Content

The song is a male narrator who is "stuck in his hometown as his ex goes off to chase her dreams". Church said that co-writer Luke Dick was "nervous" because the song had already been partially written, and was subject to "tweaking" from Church when Church presented the other two writers with the idea that he had.[1]

Critical reception

Kevin John Coyne of Country Universe reviewed the song with favor, giving it an "A" grade and writing that it "has the familiar elements of high school bleachers and dingy bars with cheap drinks, but the images are neither glorified nor criticized. They’re just there, their presence forming the detailed backdrop of the melancholy experience he’s working through as he misses the girl who had dreams too big for the little town" and that the song "grows in its power upon repeated listens, and is every bit the peer of Mr. Misunderstood‘s acclaimed title track and that set’s one big hit to date, “Record Year.”"[2]

Commercial performance

The song has sold 216,000 copies in the United States as of February 2018.[3] It was certified Platinum by the RIAA on December 6, 2018 for a million units in sales and streams.[4]

Music video

The music video centers around the male narrator, with Christian Sancho (the bassist in Ashley McBryde's band Deadhorse) starring.
