Underwood said in a promotional video about the song that the lyrics are a spin on death. "It's not the end," she explained. "In my mind, in my faith and what I believe, there is a heaven. There is a God and we're going to be there someday. It's of course very sad to lose somebody here on Earth, but having that faith and knowing that you're going to see them again is such an amazing thing, such a comforting thing, such a happy thing. That's what the song is all about."
"I don't like too many sad songs on an album," she added, "but this one takes a sad subject and puts a faith-filled positive spin on it."
