Co-written by the duo's two members, Kristy Osmunson and Kelley Shepard, along with Bob Regan.
The song received mixed reviews from critics who found the lyrical content cliché and indifferent to other similar songs.

The accompanying music video for the song was directed by Eric Welch and features Bomshel performing with their guitars in front of different backgrounds.
The song is a mid-tempo mostly accompanied by electric guitar. The song's lyrics tell of a young girl who is facing problems in her life, such as being teased on the playground at school. Her mother gives her advice by telling her to "fight like a girl."
Critical receptionedit
Leeann Ward of Country Universe gave the song a C rating, calling the lyrics "potentially cliched."[2] C.M. Wilcox of The 9513, despite saying that "the singing isn't completely unlikeable and neither is the song," gave it a thumbs-down and compared its theme to Brooks & Dunn's "Cowgirls Don't Cry."[3] Bobby Peacock described the song more positively in his review of the album, saying that it had a more commercial sound than the rest of the album, but adding that it was "an appropriate introduction to the rebooted Bomshel."[4]
