It was released on August 1, 2016, to country radio through Warner Music Nashville as the lead single from her debut studio album, WildHorse.

[1] In an interview with People's Danielle Anderson, RaeLynn said "I was headed to a writing session and my mom and dad were arguing that day about really the stupidest thing.

I got to the writing session and there were two of my dearest friends, Jimmy Robbins and Nicolle Galyon, and I started venting about being a kid of divorce.

"[5] Sounds Like Nashville referred to the song as the focal point of RaeLynn's WildHorse record and stands out among the rest for its clever play on words and brutal honesty about a tough reality.

[5] Taste of Country's Billy Dukes said the song has a "fairytale quality" and called it "an autobiographical ballad".
