Content
The song is a mid-tempo with "high-toned guitars and a slowly building chorus" and a "sensitive and sexy delivery"[5] about a man expressing his feelings to his lover. Rhett describes the song as having a Bee Gees sound.[6]
Critical reception
The song has mostly been met with positive reception, mainly for its disco influences. Bob Paxman of Country Weekly rated the single "B+", comparing its sound to "the candy coated days of Air Supply and Andy Gibb". He thought that it was "sure to nestle easily with the female audience" and was "pleasant, if not exactly outstanding", and criticized the "references to tailgating and trucks".[5] Writing for Taste of Country, Carrie Horton wrote that "But while the lyrics may sound a bit too much like what’s already out there, the melody makes up for it ten times over. The Bee Gees-inspired tune features staccato drum and piano undertones that echo famous disco hits like ‘Stayin' Alive,’ but with a perfect blend of twangy guitars to keep the song’s sound just true enough for any pure country fan.[7] Liv Carter of Little Rebellion gave the song two thumbs down, criticizing the production and unoriginality of the lyric. She summarized her review by saying, "This is an uncreative lyric inexplicably paired with 1970s pop. Which means it will probably be a big hit."[4]
