This mid-tempo ballad finds Hunt attempting to pick up a woman. He doesn't want to move fast and come on strong, but he also wants to take up her time.
Hunt's half-spoken, half-sung delivery reflects the influence of '90s R&B on him. During an interview with Taste of Country, he recalled that in his younger days, "I listened to guys like K-Ci and JoJo, that '90s R&B thing really caught my ear. R Kelly … Ginuwine, 112."
The lines that Sam Hunt directs towards the lady that he is interested in getting to know are inventive and sincere. "I think those interactions between strangers in terms of a guy going up and pursuing a lady or introducing himself or expressing his interest - that can get cliché at times," he said. "It can get kind of sleazy and shallow at times when you think about, especially if it's in a bar or a place that may not necessarily be as romantic as the next." "Hopefully, the singer in this song and what he's saying overcomes some of those stereotypes," Hunt added, "and you can see past just a surface attraction and you can see that he's generally interested in this girl who has just completely got his attention."
