Songfacts®:

  • Cagle penned this ballad about the special bond between a dad and a daughter with Brad and Brett Warren. The singer told The Boot that as a father of three girls himself, the song has a special meaning to him. "Being a dad changed me in so many ways," he explained. "When I saw Stella come out, her head was turned and she looked at me, and it was one of those things where when they put her in to measure her she was just hell-bent, get me out of here, wailing. I walked over and put my finger down in that little hand and she kind of exhaled this peaceful breath, and grabbed my hand, like 'Oh, I'm safe.' She'll never know how strong she is. That child, she made me want to be better at everything. Including being a human."
