Content
The first verse of the song describes Evans as a young girl making a mistake and being afraid of disappointing her father. The second verse describes Evans as a young adult having a sexual encounter and afraid of disappointing God. However, the refrain remarks that the both of them still love her. In the third verse, Evans reflects on being the mother of a young son, and praying that she will be just as loving when her son makes mistakes.
Evans' father, Jack Evans, sings backing vocals on the song.
Music video
A music video was directed by Kristin Barlowe. It premiered on CMT on September 14, 2006. The video for the song showed Evans in an old house, while a father and daughter talked about how she let him down. The father hugs his daughter and dances with her. The next scene showed a young woman and man in a car with Evans standing in front of the car singing about how she regrets a night of passion with a man. In the last scene, Evans is with a man and a little boy (played by her then-husband Craig Schleske and son), singing about how she will raise her own son.
