Content and history

[edit]

Lyrically, the song features Combs "comparing himself and his lover to other necessary couplings." Billy Dukes of Taste of Country said of the song that "chose country touchstones that speak to who he is and — more importantly — who his fans are."[1] Combs performed the song on October 15, 2020 on the telecast of the Billboard Music Awards.[2] During the performance, he appeared in a suit and without his trademark baseball cap, and was accompanied solely by a piano player.[3]
