Content

Ballerini co-wrote the song with Jesse Frasure, Hillary Lindsey, Ashley Gorley, and Steph Jones.[1] Described as an "upbeat, slightly silly and twangy, yet poppy" drinking song, the song is about getting over a breakup with the help of wine.[2] Ballerini debuted the song at CRS on February 19, 2020 and called it her 'first-ever drinking song.'[3] It was released on February 28, 2020 as a promotional single ahead of the album.[4]

Music video

A lyric video for the song premiered on Ballerini's official YouTube channel on February 27, 2020.[8] Its accompanying music video premiered on August 31,[9] and was directed by Hannah Lux Davis.[10] It begins in a vintage black-and-white style with Ballerini dressed in flapper wardrobe reminiscent of the 1920s.[11] Once the first chorus hits, colored scenes are introduced and she is shown in a house painting a portrait of her dog Dibs, in a field with a couple friends who join her in lounging on a bed and perform a dance routine with the singer, and playing chess with herself.[10]
