• Betty Who's producer Peter Thomas originally penned this song with a Nashville friend of his, Pete Sallis, who has had cuts recorded by Phillip Phillips, Ronnie Dunn and Bucky Covington. Who told Billboard magazine: "It got tossed around to a couple different artists and then I finally put my foot forward and said, 'I would actually really like to sing this song.' So I re-wrote 99% of the lyrics and made it my own."
• The ode to young love finds Betty hijacking her father's car in order to escape with her infatuation. She said: "To me, (the song) is driving down to Mexico in the middle of the night, not telling anybody, and sleeping in your car at the side of the beach with somebody you probably shouldn't be running away with."
