History

McGraw said that he had difficulty recording the song with Paltrow because he thought that "it's such a moving song" and said that he wanted to sing as well on it as she did.[1] The song is the final cut on the Country Strong soundtrack. Paltrow's husband, Chris Martin of Coldplay, wrote it.[2]

Critical reception

Blake Boldt of The 9513 gave the song a "thumbs down", calling the lyrics "hackneyed" and saying that the song "moves along without pause or purpose."[3] Bobby Peacock of Roughstock was more positive, rating the song three-and-a-half stars out of five. He wrote that it was a "by-the-numbers breakup song, but the execution is where it shines", and praised both McGraw's and Paltrow's vocals and the "darker" sound.[4]
