About this song
Sam Hunt wrote the ballad, which Kenny Chesney later covered and took to No. 1 on the Billboard Hot Country Chart. According to Country Weekly, Hunt wanted the chorus to make the narrator seem desperate, so the songwriters repeated the phrase "come over" five times in a row. Hunt's own version peaked at No. 42 on the same chart in 2015, when his acoustic mixtape was re-released on a major label.
