Content
Ernest said in a press release that he created the song with Ben Burgess and Mark Holman, and explained that the song was inspired by country music singer "George Jones's sad country songs". He said: "I didn't have a hard time going there because I know damn well what it's like to run out of apologies, and though flowers aren't ever going to fix it, it's just about all you can do sometimes". Carena Liptak of 'Taste of Country' wrote that the song tells the story of a "love that's lost and never coming back a classic country storyline".
