Content edit
American Christian musician Chris August co-wrote the song with Shy Carter, Micah Carter, and James T. Slater. Urban co-produced with Dan McCarroll.[1] Of the song, Urban told Nash Country Daily, "absolutely spoke to me and tells my journey in such a profound way going through a season in life of being very lost and lonely and confused and not knowing how to get out of that".[2]
Jennifer Massaux directed the music video, which features Urban performing in a basement, from which he escapes to find a sunlit landscape. The basement scenes were filmed underneath a warehouse in Nashville, Tennessee, while the outside scenes were filmed in Lancaster, California.[3]
