The song tells the story of a woman reflecting on how her father and God have loved her always. She connects this to how she intends to raise her son. The first verse addresses the narrator as a child, the second addresses her as a young adult, and the final verse addresses her as a mother with a son.
Evans' father, Jack Evans, sings backing vocals on the song.
Music video
The video for the song showed Evans in an old house, while a father and daughter talked about how she let him down. The father hugs his daughter and dances with her. The next scene showed a young woman and man in a car with Evans standing in front of the car singing about how she regrets a night of passion with a man. In the last scene, Evans is with a man and a little boy (presumably her husband and son), singing about how she will raise her own son. It was directed by Kristin Barlowe.
