Background

Jameson Rodgers served as an opening act for Combs during the latter's 2019 "Beer Never Broke My Heart Tour", and learned a thing about instant country classics from Combs's stage.^[3]

Rodgers said in a statement: “It’s a fun, easy song, and I thought it’d be cool to have someone on it and at the time I was out with Combs, I asked Luke if he’d like to sing on it – I know he’s a cold beer drinker like myself – and luckily it worked out and I’m excited for everybody to hear it.”^[4]

Content

Joseph Hudak of Rolling Stone pointed out the song starting with some jagged guitars, like Jason Aldean's style, and Rodgers singing about driving fast into an endless night.^[5]

Music video

The music video was released on February 10, 2021, directed by Dustin Haney. Rodgers and Combs play beer delivery drivers. When they get off of work, singer-songwriter Drew Parker calls them to invite them to a bonfire, and tells them to bring a six-pack of beer.^[6][7]
