Songfacts®:

• This song was penned by Lady A for the Nicholas Sparks film, The Best of Me. They worked on the tune with Monty Powell, who is best known for his collaborations with Keith Urban.
• Lady A's Dave Haywood explained how the trio wrote the song with Powell after being approached by the writers of the film to come up with something for the movie's soundtrack. "It's fun – we've never really had that much of a story sent to us and tried to write a song to that," he said. "We've done stuff like that in the past a little bit, but they sent us the full script to the entire movie pretty much, and we had a synopsis too that we worked mostly off of, but it was fine. Nicholas Sparks' movies are obviously very romantic driven and great love stories."
  
  "Monty Powell came out on the road with us and we wrote for the film, and it's a song called 'I Did With You,'" he continued. "It was fun to follow different scenes in the movie and be able to put that in a song, and we actually got to see the movie recently, and it was fun actually to see up on the screen how our song is going to fit in there. So, it was a really cool opportunity and happy we could do it."
• Hillary Scott said the foursome wrote the song with specific scenes from The Best of Me in mind. "Once we found out, especially that it was kind of going to be the ending credit song, that people – all the women and their husbands or families that come to see the movie are going to be really thinking about what they just watched," she said. "It's like we wanted to put specific things in the song, in the lyric, that will make you go back straight to that scene in your head that you just watched."
  
  "There's one line in the first verse of the song about 'dancing in the headlights,' you see them do that in the movie and all these different lines that we were really purposeful with," Scott added, "wanting them to relive that in their head."
