The song is about a couple where the question `` what if '' is asked repeatedly about what would happen in their relationship. It features a duet with Lauren Alaina, a school friend from Lakeview - Fort Oglethorpe High School when he was living in Fort Oglethorpe, Georgia. According to Brown, the song was initially not intended to be a duet, he said : `` Once we decided on adding a woman to `` What Ifs, '' I knew that I wanted Lauren to sing it, and, of course, she killed it. '' According to Brown, another song was going to be used in the album, however, he was asked so much about `` What Ifs '' on social media that it was then decided that the song should be included in the album. Composition The song is in the key of G minor with a moderately fast tempo of approximately 126 beats per minute. It follows the chord progression Gm - B ♭ - F. Brown 's vocals range from F - B ♭.
