Background

[edit]

Group members Matthew Ramsey, Trevor Rosen, and Brad Tursi wrote the song with RCA's Jesse Frasure, and Shane McAnally produced it. The song is described by Nash Country Daily as being "about facing the world head-on and not letting life get you down."[3] Its lyrics contains a reference to John Mellencamp's 1982 single "Jack & Diane" – the song opens with line "I wonder if Jack and Diane ever made it".[4]

Music video

[edit]

The music video was directed by Steve Condon and premiered on CMT, GAC, and Vevo in May 2017.[5] In the video, the band are portrayed as video game heroes as they rise up the country music ladder. Along the way, they score points for good deeds, flee from rabid fans, and drop a nod to Nintendo game Duck Hunt. In each game Ramsey sings into a microphone.[6]
