This mellow, reflective ballad finds Old Dominion lead singer Matthew Ramsey wondering where a relationship is heading. He asks: Are we written in the stars, baby, or are we written in the sand? A relationship written in the stars is one that will succeed as it was always going to happen. However, a relationship that is written in the sand will easily crumble as it only needs a change of wind or the tide to erase it.
Old Dominion members Trevor Rosen, and Brad Tursi helped Ramsey pen the song along with the track's producer Shane McAnally.
The song was released as the second single from Old Dominion's sophomore major-label album Happy Endings. Ramsey said the band simply went with their instincts when it came to picking the follow-up to the Hot 100 hit "No Such Thing as a Broken Heart." "It's one of my favorite songs on the album," he told ABC Radio, "and actually was one of the last ones that we wrote before we recorded it and it's just kind of a gut feeling. We felt like we had a moment to do something different than we've ever done before and it felt like the right one."
