played the Grand Ole Opry on June 6, he found himself in an awkward position in front of a house packed with tourists in Nashville for CMA Fest.
But his two co-writers have their own personal connections to the song. Josh Hoge had lost a friend, Jason Coole, and happened to be talking about him on Dec. 5, 2017, over breakfast at the Alley Pub, a Nashville restaurant Coole and Hoge used to frequent.

They approached it very deliberately, holding the “best friend” reference until the final verse, which gives the listener time to apply their own sense of loss to someone in their life. Even if that person is a parent, a sibling or a spouse, sometimes they’re a best friend, too. “It’s a little tricky when you do songs like this,” observes Hoge. “They tend to be super slow and draggy, but the music that Corey and Chris created underneath it is very commercial for a type of song like this.”
