The lyric is about a trucker who is on the road, and separated from his lover due to the weather. Co-writer Wyatt Durrette told The Boot:

"Colder Weather" is in the key of E-flat major, with the guitars set to E tuning. Brown's vocals range from A2 to C5.

Critical reception



The song has received primarily positive reviews from critics. Jessica Phillips of 'Country Weekly', in her review of the album, called it "lyrically profound," and Eric R. Danton of the 'Hartford Courant' said that it was the "sorrowful, solitary kind of song with an old-school country-ballad feel made for crisp nights in the high country." Giving it a "thumbs up," Karlie Justus of Engine 145 called it "loneliness and longing set to music", also praising the production and lyrics. She compared the song's style to Merle Haggard. Jonathan Keefe of 'Slant Magazine' was less favorable, calling the song "somewhat strident and inorganic."

Music video



The music video was directed by Darren Doane and premiered in February 2011. Australian actor Liam Hemsworth appeared in the video portraying the male character who temporarily leaves his girlfriend during the winter. Tori McPetrie portrays his girlfriend.
