Background

According to frontman Shaun Morgan, the track's title "got its name from the swampy verse riff".[2] On the band's official message board, Morgan explained the track's background, saying "in some ways I guess I was dealing with growing up and having to make better life choices. It's definitely not a country song, but we recorded the album in Nashville, and felt like it was a small homage to such a wonderful city."[2]
