Dierks Bentley deliberates on this Shane McAnnally and JT Harding penned song the different ways men and women mend a broken heart: A guy gets drunk with his friends, and he might hook up Fast-forward through the pain, pushin' back when the tears come up But it's different for girls "There is a real honesty in these lyrics, and I haven't heard a song written this way before. The differences in how guys and girls deal with a broken heart is really interesting material to me," said Bentley. "Having two daughters certainly has changed the way I see the world and what they have ahead."
Dierks Bentley recruited Elle King as co-vocalist for this song, "What I love about Elle being on this record, besides her uniquely powerful but vulnerable voice, is that she's a total badass," said Bentley. "Having her perspective really helps tell the complete story."
This was Elle King's first song for country radio. The female rocker and the country star met up in a studio in Austin, Texas to record the tune and King explained Bentley instantly made her nerves go away. "I get really, really shy when I am asked to sing other people's songs, let alone a duet with one of the biggest country stars in the world. And so I obviously said yes," she said. "I went in and he came in with a couple of people on his team, and he was literally the sweetest person ever, and I felt the song was really, really good. And so I was so excited, very, very nervous, but he made me feel very at ease instantly."
