Content
[edit]Smith shared to the song as "feels like the perfect blend of 2000's rock and heartfelt country. I want to make love songs that cut deep but are still tough. [...] I chose this to come out first because I feel like it really showcases my influences and sonic taste. It’s a bit of a theme song for this new project!"[1][2]
Critical reception
[edit]Chad Carlson of Today's Country Magazine said the song had "an honest track that is faithful to country music, while undoubtedly expressing Nate's influences from the pop-rock world of years past".[3]
