Songfacts®:

  • The title track of Colt Ford's fifth studio album, this also serves as the emotional centerpiece of the record. The rapper/singer told Billboard magazine the song expresses what he wants to say to his loyal fan base. "When you win an award, you always thank the fans," Ford said. "I don't know that I'll ever win an award. I don't play music to win awards, but the only reason I would love to win one is so I could thank all those people. That's what I wanted to do with this record – a lot of people say 'Thank You,' but I wanted to say it through music."

    "That's where we came up with the idea of doing the credits and the liner notes," he continued. "It's really cool to be able to do that. For them to buy the record, and see their name on it, I thought that was really cool because they've always been so good to me."
