The song's main theme is the narrator waking up in the bed of his
truck after becoming intoxicated, and expressing his anger at his situation. Billy Dukes of
Taste of Country wrote, "one doesn't feel Hardy's fury until the very last chorus in this song, when a full-throttled electric guitar replaces the gentler version that had been plucking along as he tells of getting blackout drunk in the front yard of his girlfriend's house."[1] Whiskey Riff writer Brady Cox thought the song contained influences of both country and
heavy metal.[2]
Music video
In July 2023, Hardy released the song's corresponding
music video. The video includes cameos from
John Daly,
King Bach, and
Taylor Lewan. This video was directed by Justin Clough.[3]
