Content

"Already Gone" is a mid-tempo ballad set in triple meter. The female narrator describes her life and always passing the good moments by. The song describes the narrator's relationship with her mother and a relationship with her now ex-boyfriend and the final encounter she has with him before moving on.

Reception

The 9513 critic Brady Vercher gave the song a "thumbs down" rating. Although said as "a little more substance" than its predecessor "All I Want to Do", he felt that more emphasis was placed on constructing an interesting melody than creating a narrative that is anything more than average.

Music Video

A music video for this single was released on iTunes a few days before its official release to CMT and GAC on September 5, 2008. The video starts off with Nettles and Bush in a bed of old, vintage cars with a sunset in the background. It later captures a young girl in the driver's side of one of those cars, which turns out to be Nettles at the end. Nettles sings on the hood of one car, while Bush plays mandolin on the hood of a different car.
