Shortly after Russell Dickerson married his wife Kailey in May 2013, he was dropped from his songwriting deal. "Home Sweet" takes an intimate look back at their relationship from their difficult early months, when he wondered how he could pay the rent, to finding out Kailey was expecting. No matter what they're going through, Dickerson feels at ease when he's at home with his wife by his side.
The song starts with the couple arriving home after their honeymoon. That same week, Dickerson's income from his songwriting deal stopped, and the pair found themselves flat broke. Touching down, from a six-night honeymoon Sun-kissed kids, still drunk on love Went from, all-inclusive margaritas in Malibu To praying we could pay rent this month
The last verse describes the moment in April 2020 the Dickersons learned that they were going to be parents. Sitting on boxes in the living room laughing and crying Just staring at them two pink lines, huh Dickerson explained to Billboard: "Now we just moved into our new house and have a baby on the way, so yeah, 'Home Sweet' is about as spot-on, real-life as it gets."
