The song describes drinking away the sting of a lost love, albeit with tequila and demonstrating how it can lead to thinking in different and dangerous ways, remarking in part, "that's what tequila does."[2]
Jeffrey Kurtis of Today's Country Magazine wrote, "Though drinking away heartache is certainly nothing new to country music, by shifting the focus of the lyrics to show how it can torture you and trick you into thinking in different and dangerous ways, Aldean provides a fresh perspective to the old idea."[2]
The song debuted at number 47 on Country Airplay.[3] It would later enter Hot Country Songs at number 41.[4]
