It was released in June 1996 as the second single from Strait's 1996 album Blue Clear Sky. In August of that year, it became Strait's 30th number one hit on the US Billboard Hot Country Singles and Tracks (now Hot Country Songs) chart. The song was one of two George Strait songs (the other being "One Night at a Time") to be nominated for Single of the Year at the 1997 Country Music Association awards.[1] It was also nominated for Single Record and Song of the Year awards at the 32nd Academy of Country Music Awards that same year in 1997.
Critical reception
Deborah Evans Price, of Billboard magazine reviewed the song favorably, saying that the strongest thing about the single is Strait's "heartfelt delivery." She goes on to say that "the melody is pretty, but the lyric just seems a little clichéd and unworthy of Strait's vocal gifts.[2]
