"[3] Matt Doria of NME pointed out that the song "serve[s] as a poignant reflection on Musgraves' divorce from country singer Ruston Kelly".
[4] Andy Sahadeo of Nicki Swift described the song as "a somber contemplation of the singer's personal life over the past few years".
[7] The video begins with Musgraves "driving solemnly through a desert while listening to a commercial on love counseling from the car radio".
She drives through "different environments and weather, likes a green-lit tunnel, a snowy forest, rain, an urban city, and an autumn highway".
[10] On October 2, 2021, Musgraves performed the song almost completely nude save for a pair of boots on the 47th season of Saturday Night Live.
