Carena Liptak of The Boot said that the song is about "a vivid picture of falling in love to the backdrop of gorgeous California scenery, all in a Toyota Tacoma." Dickerson said that the song was originally about taking a road trip, but after presenting his cowriters with the idea, they chose to add details that Dickerson had witnessed while driving down the Pacific Coast Highway with his wife, Kailey.[1]

Kailey Dickerson and her brother, Toben Seymour, directed the song's music video, which features footage of her and her husband driving along the highway.[2]
