This humorous anthem finds Musgraves urging her fans to be true to themselves no matter what society dictates. "It's one that maybe six years ago I couldn't have written," Musgraves told Radio.com of the song. "I had a different outlook then, but just growing and learning more about people and life, it just allowed me to write that."
The song's chorus ("So, make lots of noise, kiss lots of boys. Or kiss lots of girls, if that's something you're into.") has raised some eyebrows within the Nashville community. "I think it's definitely time for those issues to be accepted in country music," Musgraves explained to Radio.com. "I mean it's 2013, and regardless of your political beliefs I think everybody should be able to love who they want to love and live how they want to live." "We're all driven by the same emotions," she added. "We all want to be loved and feel the same things. Hopefully people will put aside their personal and political agendas and just agree with that fact."
Musgraves' intention with the song was to focus on the hypocrisy of society, starting with its opening couplet, "If you save yourself for marriage you're a bore. If you don't save yourself for marriage you're a horr...ible person." "It's actually been really fun playing that one and seeing people's reaction when they hear the first line," she admitted to The Boot regarding the assumption made after the long pause between the first and second syllable in 'horrible.'
