Background
Adkins said of the song, "That has haunted me -- because it just spoke to me. I related to it. That's the way my life is."
Critical reception
Leeann Ward of 'Country Universe' gave the song a 'B' grade, writing that Adkins "sings this song of redemption with power, but does not cross the line of vocal theatrics" and "the production accurately presents the swanky southern rock sound that one might imagine from a song with its title."
