"I'm the ice, you're the Yeti | I'm the boat, steady oh, you're the Petty | I'mn the dance floor, you're confetti | Always up when I'm down, always ready | You can take a worry, flip that into a song | I don't even notice till I'm singing along |I forget that there was ever anything wrong |How do you do it babe?" sings Charles Kelley with his soothing pipes.
Scott mentioned that the lyrics came naturally and rolled right off their tongue during the writing process.
"When we got together and wrote this song a few months ago, it almost started writing itself," she explained in a press release. "We were all looking ahead to the warmer months and those easygoing moments that we enjoy most."
