Background

Urban stated to fans via Instagram: "To all of the lost ones who aren't really lost ones, this song is for you. We are WILD HEARTS!" He also said in a press release: "I'm here to tell you anything can happen in this life if you got the heart and the passion and a God-lit fire inside."[3] Joseph Hudak of Rolling Stone wrote that the song is "a classic tale of perseverance that preaches a message of not only pursuing your dreams but manifesting them" that alludes to some moments from Urban's life, including his "childhood memory of seeing Johnny Cash in concert with his father".[4]

Critical reception

Matt Doria of NME called the song a "jammy, energetic country-pop track described aptly as 'quintessential Urban'".[5]
