• Thomas Rhett wrote the song for his wife Lauren, who he's known since first grade (they married in 2012).
He explained:
"I've written love songs but never to the extent of that personal..
We strictly wrote that song about me and my wife's relationship."
"I just think this song shows how me and Lauren love each other, and I hope this song
is an encouragement to other married couples or people that are dating"
• Its the first song that he wrote entirely for Lauren.
He said that she'd been asking for a love song like
Tim McGraw's
Just to See You Smile
for years, and watching her listen to it for the first time was very rewarding.

He said:
"My wife is one of those people that never wants to be in the spotlight or in videos, but
it was inevitable for her to be in this one because I wrote the song for her and about her."
"It really is just us We just hung around and did exactly what we would do if a camera
was on us or not, except for the scenes where they're telling us to kiss underwater -
that's something we don't typically do!"
