Content

The song asks the listener if they have ever experienced any of a series of unfortunate events, some general (“Ever lost your luggage, your marbles your house?”) and some specific to those in the music industry (“Ever been accused of murder on Music Row?”), in the verses; the chorus goes on to explain that such predicaments are a part of life and not to worry about them.

Critical reception

Allmusic critic Johnny Loftus described the song as being one of the standout tracks on Sweet Right Here. In his review, he said that the three members of SHeDAISY "take the song's message to heart, loosening up and having a good time… 'blah blah blah'-ing their way through the pre-chorus".

Music video

The song's music video, directed by Trey Fanjoy, alternates between performance footage and shots of SHeDAISY in a convertible. Computer-generated animation of the song's lyrics also appears on screen.
