This Marv Green, Heather Morgan, and Jimmy Robbins penned mid-tempo Country ballad was released by Sara Evans as the lead single from her seventh studio album. Evans debuted the song during her annual fan club party in June 2013.
The track is sung from the perspective of a woman threatening to walk out on her man. "I knew, as I've known with other songs that I've written and recorded, that 'Slow Me Down' was me," said Evans. "I love songs that evoke emotion — it really is what connects people to the music. When we went into the studio to record ['Slow Me Down'] my main goal was to capture the desperation and passion in the song — to strike a balance between a strong vocal and the emotion that would pull in the listener."
The song's narrator finishes by telling her man that if he has something to say that he should "hurry up and slow [her] down." "There's definitely something about it," Evans told Billboard magazine. "That's what we all felt when we heard it. When they pitched it to us, it was so emotional and the thought of 'Hurry Up and Slow Me Down' is one of the best lines I have heard in a song in so long. I'm very lucky they pitched it to me."
