That "come hither" look as he leads you up the staircase....

LMAO

Hope this does well

I just don’t see this one doing much at radio. It’s super slow and I just don’t see it chugging along for a 10 month climb on the charts. He needs something up beat after his last 2 slow singles.

I've been rooting for Cody but I won't be with this one. Is he seriously lusting after a naked female in this? It just feels so icky, I hate these type of songs. (eg see Jon Pardi's Cowboy Hat)

Not a fan of the melody, but I'm fine with the lyrics, as long as the woman consents to the dress falling to the floor and whatever behavior occurs afterwards.

The artist will say it is for his wife. (eg see Body Like A Back Road)

I mean its a good song, but the whole waltz thing has been done enough recently. There were better options on the album, including "Fenceposts" and "Ain't Nothin' To It".

That's my issue with it mostly. It's still delivered better because it's Cody but this is your basic commercial pandering--it's Chris Stapleton meets Thomas Rhett meets waltz.

I doubt Cody WAS pandering when he included it on the album as he is fairly good at doing his own thing. But the fact that the label thinks this is a good single choice is ridiculous. Here is a unique "new" artist and you release something that doesn't do him any justice.

Debut at #60 on country airplay.

Love this but can't see it do much, nonetheless after On My Way To You wasn't the smash it was meant to be :/ . Rooting for it regardless!

I like the sound of Cody Johnson's music but.... Cody himself and his lyrics utterly loose me. He seems more squeezy than the bros we have in the mainstream. the album as a whole is kinda…. hateful (?)

There’s some good deep cuts but overall I’m in the same boat. Little overrated IMO. He’s definitely country but he’s a watered down Justin Moore to me. Definitely not feeling this song at all.
