This mid-tempo Country ballad is the first single from American Country artist Sara Evans' sixth album, Stronger. Luke Laird, Hillary Lindsey, and Hillary Scott wrote the song and the Lady Antebellum singer also performs harmony vocals on the track.
The song's female protagonist describes in the song how she is constantly reminded of her former love interest as she goes through her daily routine. Hillary Scott told The Boot her lyrics are based on an actual experience. She explained: "When I wrote it, I was barely a month out of a really, really bad break-up. It's very autobiographical ... one of the most personal songs that I've ever written. It was personal when I wrote it, but now that it's actually out there, it takes it to another level. I'm sure he [my ex] has heard it, but that's OK because the song's about 'everyday without you, I'm a little bit stronger,' which is true. So, he can hear that. That's OK."
The song features on the soundtrack for the 2010 movie Country Strong. It is sung by Leighton Meester in the film, while Evan's version is on the movie's soundtrack. "I'm so excited. We found a song, put it on the record, put it out as my first single, shot the video for it and then found out it was in this movie. I was overwhelmed!" Sara told The Boot.
