Content edit
Band member Tom Gossin wrote the song with Matt Serletic and Wendell Mobley. Gossin said that he did not have any lyrics when he began writing with the two, and that the idea came once Gossin recalled seeing fans dance in the audience whenever the band performed "Wild at Heart".[2]
Critical reception edit
Giving it four stars out of five, Bobby Peacock of Roughstock praised the "punchy groove, with plenty of banjo and steel fills".[3]
Music video edit
The video was the first major music video for director TK McKamy. It was filmed immediately before Cheyenne Kimball left the group. It shows the group performing the song at a huge evening barn party, surrounded by many fans.[4]
