  ## Critical reception
  
  An uncredited Taste of Country review stated that "The song — penned by Gilbert and the Peach Pickers — is built to be performed live. Raw energy will make it a hit, as the four aren’t breaking new ground lyrically. For all the talk of a more sentimental album after one or two high-profile news events in Gilbert’s life, the first two singles seem to introduce a very loud, rebellious record. That’s likely a relief to fans who save money all year to see him take the stage."
  
  ## Music video
  
  The music video was directed by Shane Drake and premiered in August 2014. UFC Hall of Famer Chuck Liddell plays a supporting role as the boss from hell.
