It was released in February 1989 as the third and final single from his album Rage On. It peaked at #5 on the Billboard country charts in June 1989, thus breaking his streak of number-one hits. It was his first single to miss the #1 spot since his early-1985 single "My Old Yellow Car", which peaked at #9. The song was written by Seals and Bob McDill.

Music video

The music video was directed by Neil Abramson. This video, in particular, played on the song's theme of the irony of small-town values with the depiction of an inter-racial relationship. In it, a white teen-aged boy falls in love with an Asian girl, angering the boy's friends to the point they vandalize the boy's car; one boy attempts to assault the girl's father by hurling a beer bottle at him (the bottle misses).[1]
