Content

The song "lists a number of noises everyone is familiar with, but uses each as a symbol. In the first verse it’s the morning shower, the coffee pot and a door locking. All these mean the main character will be spending a few hours apart from his lover."^[3]

Critical reception

An uncredited review from Taste of Country was favorable, saying that "a young lover’s song that relies on an older couple to recall those early days when eight hours at work seemed like eight years away from a familiar pair of lips.…'I Like the Sound of That' recalls the days of the band’s biggest hits. Once again they make love sound easy."^[3]

Music video

The music video was directed by Kenny Jackson and John Stephens and premiered in December 2015.^[4]

Chart performance

The song has sold 117,000 copies in the US as of February 2016.^[5]
