Maren Morris co-wrote and co-produced the song with Busbee, and it was released on June 27, 2016 as the second single from her debut studio album, Hero. Its music video was directed by Alon Isocianu and features a 1980s Mercedes-Benz 380 SL. The song was certified Gold in the United States and reached number 11 on the Hot Country Songs chart, and it was placed at number 38 on Rolling Stone's list of the 50 best songs of 2016.
What it's about
The song is built around a line Busbee came up with after asking Morris what year she was born, which she answered as 1990: a '90s baby riding in an '80s Mercedes. It also draws on influences from 1980s music and includes an oblique nod to Don Henley's "The Boys of Summer".
