In an interview with Country Music Television, Chesney said, "It's so different but I still felt that it was really me. I felt melodically it was completely different and sexy".[1] In an interview will Billboard, Chesney said, "This is a tortured soul song. If you get going with somebody, you've been in a relationship and for whatever reason she's gone or you're gone. And you're not necessarily in another relationship, but you're with somebody else, just starting something with somebody else. Trying to balance both those worlds is tough." [2]
Whitney Pastorek of Entertainment Weekly, in her review of the album, said that the song "has a compellingly dark vibe Chesney should try out more often."[3] Writing for The New York Times, Jon Caramanica thought that the chorus "recalls nothing so much as the Bee Gees."[4] Rick Moore of American Songwriter called the song one of the album's "high points".[5]
