Content

In the song, the male narrator wakes to find that he and a female friend, after drinking too much alcohol have slept together. The song continues on as the singer wonders if they will become a relationship, pondering "Could it be the end of "Just friends" And the start of something more", or if they should "write it off, as a sweet mistake".

Critical reception

Billy Dukes of Taste of Country gave the song four stars out of five, comparing Worsham favorably to Keith Urban and Vince Gill. Dukes wrote that "While he doesn’t show the range Gill is known for on this song, his vocals are similarly smooth" and "after a few listens, lines like those in the pre-chorus begin to stand out."[4] Bobby Peacock of Roughstock gave the song four and a half stars out of five, saying that "Worsham's easygoing charm sells the song, his range and phrasing recalling Marty Roe of Diamond Rio." Peacock also praised the song's "tight production," adding that "strong acoustic guitar riffs and tight percussion are the main focus here, never getting overly loud or overpowering his voice."[5] Giving it a "thumbs up", Liv Carter of Urban Country News wrote that "While there is nothing particularly innovative here, the trio kept it simple, resisted romantic cliches, and created a pretty irresistible tune." She also praised the instrumentation as "rootsy".[6]

Music video

The music video was directed by Kristin Barlowe and premiered in February 2013.[7]
