Content and history

Wendy Hermanson of the blog Taste of Country wrote of the song that it is a "light, sparkling, feel-good number dedicated to a bit of old-fashioned hedonism that has Bryan counting 'One margarita, two margarita, three margarita, we'll be gone,' and name-dropping Bob Marley, Jimmy Buffett, and Kenny Chesney. A mariachi band helps the vibe along, and everyone has plenty of smiles to spare.[1] Jon Freeman of Rolling Stone Country wrote that the song has an "equally buoyant melody and groove that’s punctuated by mandolin and peals of Hammond organ. Bryan, who’s no stranger to a party song, looks at the bigger picture of vacation as escape from the stress and anxiety of everyday existence."[2] Bryan's bandleader, Michael Carter, wrote the song with Josh Thompson and Matt Dragstrem.[3] The song was officially released to radio on April 13, 2020. It is the album's third single, following "Knockin' Boots" and "What She Wants Tonight".[4]

Music video

The song's music video was directed by Michael Monaco. It features Bryan "cavorting on the beach". Bryan's wife, Caroline, and mother, LeClaire, make guest appearances,[1] as do Caylee Hammack and members of Old Dominion.[2] Bryan filmed the video during Crash My Playa, an annual beach party he holds in Mexico, in January 2020 prior to the song's release.[4]
