Content
The song describes a man who goes into town for the "night life" after experiencing heartbreak from a breakup. Lynch also described the song as an account of an experience he had with his previous relationship.[2][3]
Critical reception
Jeffrey Kurtis of Today's Country Magazine wrote that the song "turns the corner from being just a bright, up-tempo placement on radio playlists, to being a song that can potentially reach through the speakers to help people admit the things they are dealing with during their own breakup misery and how they're choosing to cope with them, bringing to light a potentially better way to face it."[4]
Music video
An accompanying music video was released on February 11, 2022, featuring Lynch and friends as a suitcase mix-up involving cash during travel results in the four doing various activities such as mini golf, until they are confronted by a gang who the cash originally belonged to. After being rescued, the four head home.[5]
