Content

The song is a mid tempo country song in which the narrator tells of how she will still be satisfied with her life, because she is confident about herself, and she knows that her peers will still support her.

In a 2001 interview, Andrews explained that she recorded the song (which was written by Brett James and Troy Verges^[1]) because she felt that its lyrics were especially fitting to her own life: "Everything is so true in that song, except that my grandmother's name is not Rosemary. It's about believing in yourself and being supported by those around you. No matter how many mistakes you make, your friends and family will be there for you."
