Background and writing

"This was the first time the three of us had ever gotten together to write," co-writer Rhett Akins told The Boot. "Marv came in with the idea. All he really had was the hook of the song: 'Just when I thought it couldn't get no hotter / I caught a glimpse of the farmer's daughter.' Ben and I jumped all over it. We thought it was awesome."[2]
