Background
Prior to "Where Do I Go from You" being released as a single, Walker expressed that he thought "Summer Song" would be a better choice. He explained in an interview with 'CMT', "There can only be one boss, and we know who that is. But it's OK. That's the way it goes."Morris, Edward 'CMT' Clay Walker Regaining Ground With Hit Single, New Album [http://www.cmt.com/news/country-music/1643034/clay-walker-regaining-ground-with-hit-single-new-album.jhtml July 6, 2010] In an interview with 'GAC', Walker explained the song by saying, "Out of all the songs I've recorded since "What's It To You," my first record, this has that youthful energy I had on that first song. Production-wise it's as modern as anything I've ever done. I'm pretty much considered a new traditionalist, but I do have R&B and pop roots mixed in."[http://www.gactv.com/gac/ar_artists_a-z/article/0,,GAC_26071_4746244,00.html Clay Walker Biography] Walker told the 'Albuquerque Journal', "I like the new single that's out right now because it's musically just one of those songs you can groove to right away. It's not one that you have to think about. So I like the fact that my record label picked it as the follow-up."Baret, Nathalie.
