This song's romantic lyric finds Jimmie Allen promising his love interest a full commitment to their relationship. I'm not the man I was before you I'm not saying that I'm perfect Oh, 'cause, girl, you know I'm not But I'll love you with everything I've got Girl, I'll give you my best shot The song was inspired by advice that Allen's grandmother gave about women. He explained it was "how they just want to know that we care and that we're trying - her words always stuck with me."
Written by Jimmie Allen with Josh London and JP Williams, this was released as the singer's debut single on February 20, 2018. Allen said that he offered up "Best Shot" as it is a great example of who he is as an artist. "At the end of the day, I just want to make my grandmother proud," he explained. "She was my everything."
The song was included on Allen's debut album, which takes its name from the street the singer grew up on in Delaware. The record pays tribute to the influence home and family has had on his journey. "All those morals were instilled in me on Mercury Lane," he explained to ABC Radio. "So Mercury Lane to me is a great place, and every time I think about that place, or when I go back to Delaware, I always go back. I just get chills, man. It's awesome."
