Canadian country singer-songwriter Griffen Palmer released his own version of the song after signing with Big Loud Records. It is his debut single, and the lead single off his debut album Unlearn, which was released on April 28, 2023.^[7]^[8]^[9]

Background

Palmer remarked that the song is "such an important part of my story as an artist," and that he was "excited to put my own spin on it and put it out." He added that after his appearance on Songland, people often asked him if he would release his own version of the song, and he was thus happy to release it for them.^[10]

Critical reception

Erica Zisman of Country Swag reviewed Palmer's release of the song favourably, stating that it is a "confident portrayal of what it feels like to be with the right person," and that "Palmer's knack for songwriting is obvious," while "he has the vocals to back it up."^[11] Maxim Mower of Holler also gave the song a positive review, writing that Palmer's version "feels noticeably smoother and slicker than Florida Georgia Line's rendition."^[12]

Live performance

Palmer performed the song live on season 27 of ABC's reality television show The Bachelor on February 6, 2023, with his performance being part of a special "one-on-one date" between members of the cast.^[13]^[14]^[15]
