Content

The song is about a man attempting to woo a woman who is currently with another man. He states that he will be present if her man ever "singles [her] up", or leaves her. Davis wrote the song with Steven Dale Jones and Justin Ebach. Davis said that "When we finally honed in on the way we ended up approaching it, it was this guy having to wait his turn, seeing this girl with somebody else. He has feelings for her and hopes the other guy screws it up somehow. Once we honed in on that, we wrote it really quick."[2]
