Songfacts®:

  • Lucy Hale first appeared on television in the reality show American Juniors in 2003 where she finished in the Top 5 and was part of the vocal quintet formed with the finalists. After American Juniors, Hale moved to Los Angeles, where she picked up various roles in TV shows before being cast as Aria Montgomery on the ABC Family series Pretty Little Liars.

    Hale has described music as her "first love" and in 2011 she recorded songs for A Cinderella Story: Once Upon a Song soundtrack. On June 12, 2012, it was announced that she had signed a record deal with Hollywood Records. This Ashley Gorley, Luke Laird and Hillary Lindsey penned track is her debut single.
  • Hale is a Tennessee girl, hailing from Memphis, so it's no surprise that her first official musical endeavor is a Country record. "I grew up in Tennessee, so that's always been my heart and soul," she told MTV News. "It's hard to come across a true country fan in L.A., but it's true that the fans are so loyal, once you're in their circle, you're in for your entire career. It just really speaks to me. Country music has so much soul and is so heartfelt. I think it's a perfect fit for me."
  • The song was debuted live by Hale on the Good Morning America stage on January 10, 2014.
  • The song's accompanying music video was directed by Taylor Swift and John Mayer collaborator Philip Andelman. It debuted during the winter premiere of Pretty Little Liars season four on January 7, 2014.
