"This song is a demonstration of the power of a lust that cannot be fulfilled and an imagination so vivid that the lines of reality and fantasy are blurred. Moore’s rich vocals evoke an addictive, trance-like state as he considers the option to act on his desires." (Madeleine O'Connell / countrynow.com, August 26, 2022)

"So finally we are getting to see each other, shake hands. I tell you this: it was supposed to start the comeback tour. If there is a blessing in the curse, I can't think of a better way to end the comeback tour and the stadium tour than play in the greatest place on earth." (Garth Brooks / Press Conference Dublin, September 8, 2022)

" At first glance this tiny community in south-central Colorado appears but a bump in the road. The northern gateway to the ancient San Luis Valley, Villa Grove is surrounded by national forests and massive peaks to the east.

"But it is our job as artists to sing about things that people are [sometimes] scared to talk about. Domestic abuse is a fragile subject, but I hope this song brings light to a situation that is more common than we’d like to admit. For the abusers, I hope this song haunts them. For the victims, I hope they know they’re not alone."   (Lainey Wilson / tennessean.com, August 26, 2022)
