Background and composition

Miranda Lambert teased the song on social media on February 23, 2021.[4] The song was recorded prior to the COVID-19 pandemic in both Nashville and New York.[2] Rolling Stone described the song as a "neon-spattered, banjo-flecked euphoria that fits perfectly with the idea of blowing off steam well into the wee hours".[2]

King and Lambert performed the song live for the first time when they opened the 56th Academy of Country Music Awards on April 18, 2021.[5]

Music video

[edit]

The song's music video stars King and Lambert singing the song's lyrics on a stage in a wedding chapel. The video also contains footage of many guests dancing and performing other wedding traditions. Halfway through the music video, Lambert pours an alcoholic beverage into a bowl of punch in order to fit the topic of the song.
