Content

Rhett wrote the song while on tour. He co-wrote it with his father Rhett Akins, as well as Will Bundy and Josh Thompson. According to CMT, Thompson came up with the song's hook "half of me wants a cold beer / And the other half does too" while in a conversation with Rhett. They wrote the song in about half an hour. After it was completed, Rhett suggested adding Riley Green as a duet partner, because the two had become friends after hunting together.

The song is about a man who wants to consume alcohol instead of tending to his everyday chores. Carena Liptak of Taste of Country compared the song's sound to the country music of the 1990s.
