Background
Caillat, Jason Reeves, Young, Nelly Joy and Kenney shared the story behind the song with 'Country Now'. Kenney told the band he had been listening to their EP in the shower, a "ritual" he has before writing songs. Nelly said: "Jamie had a melody and lyrics start to the chorus that we immediately loved. The song pieced together pretty quickly." Cobie: "The song is so special to all of us, we all feel a little bit of magic when we sing it together." Jason also said: "I think the message of the song is something that everyone can relate to, and it just brings a sense of emotion and nostalgia to the song that can be rare to find."

The music video was uploaded on September 6, 2019. The band described the video to People.com as "a split-screen heartbreak story of a broken romance that could have turned out more favorably." The video also uses mirrors to show glimpses of "what could've been".
