This is the second single from country trio Lady A's sophomore album, Need You Now. They were known as Lady Antebellum at the time, a name chosen for the architectural style of pre-Civil War homes in the south that has unfortunate associations with slavery.
Lady A's Hillary Scott blogged on the trio's MySpace page that the song makes her long for her past. She shared: "I think everyone, man or woman, it doesn't matter, you get to a place in your life when you really miss the simplicity of growing up. I'm only 23 years old, but as things in our lives get crazier, there's moments in time where I'm like, gosh, it would be great to just go back to when I was playing hide and go seek with my neighbors or laying on the screened-in porch in my aunt's house - going back to the smells and the sights and all those things. That's what I loved about this song... the nostalgic thing. It just has this sweetness to it, and it warms your heart."
The group's guitarist and background vocalist Dave Haywood told AOL's The Boot that this ballad about being awakened to life by wistful remembrance of things past takes him back vacations with his family. He explained: "Charles and I grew up in Georgia, going to South Carolina to the beach on a lot of family vacations. So we go back to that place, and that's the kind of message we want to have with that song - when we get caught up in the craziness of our lives and jobs, to have a song that helps you remember the sweeter times. Having those relationships are what's important in life."
