Here, RaeLynn sings of getting a late-evening phone call from an ex for whom she still has feelings. She makes the choice to ignore the call as giving in won't help her get over him. I used to be your 6 a.m "Hey good morning Beautiful, how you been?" I used to be a "we just landed Miss you, you can't stand it See you this weekend" Now I'm just a midnight number. RaeLynn told Taste of Country she wrote the song about a guy called Josh, whom she dated for ten months. She penned the tune as an inspiration to herself. "The only way I can get over this is if he quits contacting me," she remembered thinking at the time.
RaeLynn and Josh broke up for two years before getting back together again. They are now married and Josh never got to hear the song until they became an item. "He was like, 'Well at least we know when we broke up you got some good songs out of it,'" RaeLynn said with a laugh. "He was like, 'I felt so bad but now I don't feel so bad if it makes you a lot of money.'"
RaeLynn told Entertainment Tonight about the late night phone call from Josh that sparked this track. "The song is verbatim how I felt," she recalled. "I remember him calling me one night, and he wasn't being mean or anything like that - when you're together and you're so in love, you want to call the person even if you're not together. I was like, 'I'm not your lonely call! I'm a Texas girl! I'm gonna be this and this and this.'"
