In this ballad, Chris Young sings of his overwhelming grief following the loss of a dear friend. I can't help that all I think about is How you were taken way too soon It ain't the same here without you I gotta say missin' you comes and waves And tonight I'm drowning Young laments that his pal was taken away far too soon.
Young wrote "Drowning" with frequent collaborators Josh Hoge ("Losing Sleep") and Corey Crowder ("Raised on Country"). In a press release, Young explained that they were each thinking of "someone that we lost way too soon." For him, that was his best friend Adam, who died as a result of a car accident.
Chris Young debuted this song at the Grand ole Opry on June 10, 2019. Near the end of his stirring performance the emotions hit Young like a wave. He was overcome, and despite the crowd's encouragement, couldn't finish the tune.
