• "Grow old with me, I'll keep you young forever," Sunny Sweeney sings in this love song. She's singing to her husband, Jeff Hellmer, whom she married in 2011 - he was her second husband.
  
  At the time, Sweeney and Hellmer were going through a rough patch, but she was determined to work it out, a sentiment expressed in this song where she goes all-in to commit.
  
  Sadly, it didn't work out. Just months after writing the song, Sweeney filed for divorce, which was devastating. "It was a rough time, but I thought my second marriage was THE marriage," she said when she appeared on the Songfacts Podcast. "I thought that was the one that was going to work, but it didn't."
• Sweeney wrote this with Lori McKenna, who knows the intricacies of a love story as well as any country music songwriter. McKenna's credits include "When Someone Stops Loving You" by Little Big Town and "Cry Pretty" by Carrie Underwood.
• By the time Sweeney released this song on her Trophy album in 2017, her marriage was over and she couldn't bring herself to perform the song. At one of her shows, a fan kept calling for it, and even confronted Sweeney after the show when she didn't play it. When Sunny told her why, something clicked emotionally and she was able to start playing it.
  
  "I was embarrassed that I had a song out that people loved that I couldn't sing, and I couldn't sing it because I didn't want to start crying in front of fans," she said. "Once I addressed it, it was like, 'Oh it's really not that big of a deal, that marriage has been over now for two years and everything's good now.'"
