Background and recording

When producer Buddy Cannon first presented Kershaw with a rough demo recording of the song, Kershaw was quoted as saying ‘You’re crazy, I ain’t cutting that. That’s terrible,’ but Cannon persuaded Kershaw and the band to record the song in the last 15 minutes of the recording session booked for the album, and Kershaw ended up loving the song.
