Background
Palmer remarked that the song is "such an important part of my story as an artist," and that he was "excited to put my own spin on it and put it out." He added that after his appearance on Songland, people often asked him if he would release his own version of the song, and he was thus happy to release it for them.[10]
Critical reception
Erica Zisman of Country Swag reviewed Palmer's release of the song favourably, stating that it is a "confident portrayal of what it feels like to be with the right person," and that "Palmer's knack for songwriting is obvious," while "he has the vocals to back it up."[11] Maxim Mower of Holler also gave the song a positive review, writing that Palmer's version "feels noticeably smoother and slicker than Florida Georgia Line's rendition."[12]
