This is the opening track of Old Dominion's Meat and Candy album. The Boot asked the group how they came up with the disc's title. Drummer Whit Sellers replied: "There's lots of songs on there that are fun, sing-a-long, catchy songs, and then there are others that have a bit more meat to it. It sounds worse than it is; it's not that clever actually." Vocalist Matthew Ramsey added: "We literally were having the conversation, and someone just said, 'There's a lot of candy songs. Just kind of balance it out with the meat.'"
This song finds Old Dominion falling for a girl who is wearing a snapback cap. "That's a song that has the meat and the candy to it," bass guitarist Geoff Sprung told Rolling Stone: "I feel like we can point our finger at the tracklist and I'd be happy with any one of them being a single. They have a through-line, but they're all different. The thing with song-writing is you're always trying to say the same thing but in a new way."
Snapback is an urban slang term for an adjustable flat brim baseball cap, which are popular in the hip-hop community. They are called a "snapback" because the back of the hat can be adjusted with different settings of the snaps. Some lyrical examples of snapbacks: "Usual Suspects" by Hollywood Undead ("Cruise through your valley and I'm snatchin' your snapback. Huffin' on some paint and I think that I'm half black.") "Snapbacks & Tattoos" by Driicky Graham (Snapbacks and tattoos. Nice whips, fly chicks. All that cause cash rules.") "king Wizard" by Kid Cudi ("Cleveland City snakeskin snapback. Ni--as know that uniform, keep the brim low.") "New Eyes" by Clean Bandit ("GRRRL PRTY is the label on my snapback. Doin' worldwide shows in a black hat.")
