Background and writing



Co-writer Rhett Akins told The Boot that the song "is another one of those good time summer feeling songs about hot weather and it being time to get in the boat, grab your girl and head to the lake or the river." He also said that they "didn't have any title mapped out or even a direction of where we were going[]We came up with the title to the song as we were writing the chorus about save all your kisses up, bring all your sweet love, and pour it all over me."
