Content
The song is about a male making advances on an attractive female.[2] It is in the key of E major with a moderate tempo, and a vocal range of B3-G♯5.[3]
Critical reception
Billy Dukes of Taste of Country gave the song four and a half stars out of five, writing that "Eldredge builds the tension in the room without relying on overly dramatic instrumentation or animated imagery. His story is believable, but still detailed enough to fill in gaps in color and personality. The melody leads to a great hook in a chorus that never verges on gimmicky."[4] Kyle Ward of Roughstock gave the song a favorable review, saying that "The soul influences are a new direction for Eldredge, but he nails them with a charming and seductive vocal in the style of James Otto."[5]
