Songfacts®:

  • This light-hearted summer anthem is a track from Lee Brice's third album, I Don't Dance. He built the track entirely from the ground up, playing every single instrument himself. "I wanted to have control over every drumbeat, every lick," Brice told Rolling Stone. "It was a lot of really sitting down and thinking about every little piece that goes into a song."
  • The song finds Brice channeling some Rolling Stones by looping in the "gimme, gimme" line from "Honky Tonk Women."
  • This features Lee Brice's wife, Sara Reeveley, on the bridge. The I Don't Dance album cover features a 1940-era guitar given to Brice by Sara on their wedding day on April 21, 2013.
  • That's Lee Brice doing his own whistling on this song.
