The song is a mid-tempo ballad in which the narrator tells of his "night to remember" a lost lover. He begins by stating that he has had a tough week, and has plans for tonight because he is feeling downcast.

According to Billboard.com, Diffie "conveys an element of hope among the ashes of a relationship that make this song a survivor." [1]
