Background

In 2021, Brown signed a new writer, Levon Gray. It marks the first work between them.

He told to Country Now, said: "Gray tagged me in a post, and two other people, and I was the only artist who got back to him. I thought he could sing. And the song [in the post], he had written himself. I had just started my publishing company, so I was like, ‘I wanna give this guy a chance.’"[2]

Content

edit

In an interview with The Nashville Soundbite , Brown pointed the song covered a relationship about "where you makeup and you break up, and you just keep running into each other, and then something about that spark in the relationship gets y’all back together and may fall apart again."[3][4]

Music video

The music video was released on August 20, 2021, and directed by Alex Alvga. It includes actor Ross Butler.[5] The video features as "the story of a lovestruck pair, with Brown appearing against dramatic staging in a rural setting."[4]
