Brian Kelley and Tyler Hubbard, who comprise the duo Florida Georgia Line, wrote the song with Morgan Wallen and Jordan Schmidt. It is the fourth song co-written by the duo that Aldean has recorded, after the singles "Burnin' It Down" and "Lights Come On", and the album cut "Black Tears".

According to Wallen, Hubbard was inspired by his wife, Hayley, and the relationship that the two have despite Hubbard being constantly on the road as a musician. Wallen also stated that he had most of the song written starting with the hook, when Schmidt added the "groove".
