Second Guessing - From Songland

"Second Guessing" is a romantic ballad that Florida Georgia Line first came across when they were the musical guest on the May 18, 2020 episode of NBC's songwriting competition series Songland. The love song won after being showcased by its writer, Griffen Palmer, and sharpened by Shane McAnally, one of the show's judges. Florida Georgia Line then recorded "Second Guessing" for their 6-Pack EP.

The song is one of romantic devotion. It starts off with the singer outlining his indecisiveness, unable to choose what direction to take in life. Couldn't jump into the deep end I was always overthinkin' Every minute, every hour, every weekend Once we get to the hook, there is a twist. We learn the singer has fallen in love and because of his feelings for the girl he now has direction. Since I met you, I ain't spent one second guessin' I've made up my mind I never knew I Just had to find my direction Gettin' lost in your eyes Because I've turned days into nights And spent all of my life askin' questions Now I don't spend one second guessin' No longer is he "second guessing," now he doesn't spend "one second guessing."

The flipping of "second guessing" into "haven't spent one second guessing" so impressed McNally that after Palmer gave its initial performance, he said, "Of all the songs that have been on this show I've never been mad at a hook. That is out of this world, congratulations."
