Background and contentIn an interview with Country Music Television, Chesney said, "It's so different but I still felt that it was really me. I felt melodically it was completely different and sexy". In an interview with 'Billboard', Chesney said, "This is a tortured soul song. If you get going with somebody, you've been in a relationship and for whatever reason she's gone or you're gone. And you're not necessarily in another relationship, but you're with somebody else, just starting something with somebody else. Trying to balance both those worlds is tough."[http://www.billboard.com/articles/news/956761/kenny-chesneys-hemingways-whiskey-track-by-track-preview Kenny Chesney's 'Hemingway's Whiskey': Track-By-Track Preview] Critical receptionWhitney Pastorek of 'Entertainment Weekly' said that the song "has a compellingly dark vibe Chesney should try out more often."
