History

According to Janson, the song was inspired by his wife, Kelly Lynn. He told the blog Taste of Country that it was his "favorite song [he'd] ever written", and that he wrote it with the intention of making a love song that was more upbeat than other ones he had written.[1]

Mitch Oglesby, one of the song's writers, presented Janson with the song's concept during a songwriting session after noting that Janson had a tendency to say "done" whenever he was "serious about something". According to Janson, he also said this phrase when he met Kelly Lynn for the first time at a bar.[2] Janson also told Rolling Stone that he felt the song would be a "turning point" in his career as well, calling its sound a "mid-nineties down-the-middle-of-the-road hit".[3]
