"There is all kinds of heartbreak in life and country music, but nothing hits harder than the heartbreak that comes from someone you never expected to hurt you" said Estes. "I was raised in a small town in the south, surrounded by honest, hardworking, godly, well-mannered men that we lovingly called 'good ol' boys.' This important song shares the persecutive of a heartbroken woman, forever changed by the betrayal of a man she thought she could trust. I have such respect and admiration for the 'three chords and the truth' sentiment of traditional country music and tried my best to channel that when writing this unapologetic story."
