Background

Womack told Billboard, "It's a good message and one that I am glad to deliver. I hope to have a lot of those kinds of songs over the course of my career."^[1]

Reception

Chuck Taylor of Billboard gave the song a positive review and wrote, "The outstanding song has a haunting, memorable melody and a great lyric, starting with the opening lines. It's a lyric with a poignant sentiment, and Womack delivers it beautifully. She possesses one of the most compelling country female voices to come along in quite a while-vulnerable one minute, compelling and gutsy the next. This should quickly become the next hit on what will no doubt become a lengthy parade for this talented artist."^[2]
