[edit]Paisley wrote the song in 2023, drawing inspiration from the Russian invasion of Ukraine. He wrote the song with frequent collaborator Lee Thomas Miller and Dawes lead singer Taylor Goldsmith. Volodymyr Zelenskyy, who is the President of Ukraine, is featured in a spoken interlude. Paisley's royalties from the song were donated to United24.[1] Jon Blistein of Rolling Stone wrote that the song "finds Paisley meditating on the similarities that link people around the world, despite ostensible cultural differences."[2] The song is Paisley's first for EMI Records Nashville after his departure from Arista Nashville, and is slated to be included on a studio album titled Son of the Mountains.[3]
Reviewers Kevin John Coyne, Jonathan Keefe, and Zackary Kephart of Country Universe all rated the song "B+", with all three reviewers praising Paisley's vocal delivery and the song's lyrics in particular.[4]
