This song is about a girl who is so attractive, she flatlines Cole Swindell's heart. He is joined by Dierks Bentley, who also praises the woman's beauty - "One kiss from you tonight will send me on to the other side," he sings. The song is the first duet that Swindell has recorded.
Speaking to Country Countdown USA's Lon Helton, Swindell said he originally penned the song in around 2012 for Bentley. "I wrote it for him, sent it to him and never heard from him. I don't know if he heard it or didn't like it, but a year or so ago, I was texting with him and sent it to him, and he loved it," he explained. "We talked about it for a while, and sure enough, we got to do it, and it's gonna be awesome. I'm just very excited to be singing with Dierks."
A "flatliner" is medical jargon for a person whose heart has stopped beating. The reference is to the flat line that appears on an electrocardiograph screen that shows there is no activity. The term was popularized by the 1990 film Flatliners, in which medical students experiment to see if there's life after death. Other artists that have recorded songs using a flatline as a metaphor for someone or something that stops hearts, include Mutya Keisha Siobhan and Wilkinson.
