The song spent 25 consecutive weeks on the Billboard Top Country Hits with two of those weeks being at number one. The song won the Country Music Association Award for Song of the Year in 2022. In an interview, Davis was once quoted about the meaning of the song and he felt it reflected faith, family, friends, and ultimately finding your happiness.
FROM FACEBOOK__"As our Winter Olympians deliver on the ice and snow in Italy, right here in Bluffton, the Bluffton Area Ministerial Association (BAMA) delivers much-needed tissue relief to our Bluffton Schools. Thirty cases of tissues were purchased from our local Community Markets and evenly distributed to the Elementary, Middle and High school classrooms; our biggest delivery yet! Such a mission was only made possible by the generous donations from our local churches, the Bluffton Community Assistance Program, and the prayers of support from our community. May God be praised and noses be cleaned! Glory to God in the highest!!"
