History

edit

The song was described by Taste of Country writer Billy Dukes as having "instrumental solos and heavy vocal distortion", with an alternate mix for country radio which lessens these two elements.[1] Lyrically, the song is about the singer's plans in case of his death, which include a request to be buried in the state of Georgia.[2]

In May 2023, Brown performed the song at the Academy of Country Music awards.[3]
