Content and history [ edit ] Aldean said that the idea for the song came when he sent a request toTyler Hubbard , one-half of the musical duoFlorida Georgia Line , asking for a song with "tempo" to it. He wanted a song that would serve as an upbeat, rock-driven lead single to a new album, because the previous album (Rearview Town ) was dominated by ballads. Within a few days, Hubbard contacted him with the finished song, which Aldean immediately liked and chose to record.[ 2] The blogTaste of Country describes the song as acountry rock anthem comparable in theme to "The Only Way I Know ", "Gonna Know We Were Here ", and "They Don't Know ".[ 3]
