It was released in October 2013 as the album 's fourth single. Critical reception In his review of Here 's to the Good Times, Billy Dukes of Taste of Country called it `` the biggest dud on the album '' and wrote that `` it 's a clumsy beginner 's effort that only shows off FGL 's vocal flaws when they stray from the party jams. '' Matt Bjorke of Roughstock was more favorable, writing that `` despite being a cover of a Black Stone Cherry song, it suits Florida Georgia Line and is emotional and features some nice mandolin and steel guitar work ( though you 'll have to strain a bit to hear the latter ). '' Music video The music video was directed by Peter Zavadil and premiered in October 2013. It stars Josh Henderson in the leading role. The video starts off showing a sad woman sitting in front of a burned down house. A dog goes through the ruins, finds a shattered mobile phone, and gives it to her. The woman starts crying. Then, the reason for that is revealed. When the song starts, a man is shown standing in the doorway of the house when it was still intact, while the band performs. The woman, revealed to be the man 's girlfriend or wife, drives away in a car. The man then sends the woman some text messages, but the woman does not respond. The man loses his mind, and destroys his possessions, including vintage electricals and furniture, and a vintage television. The woman then goes to have her phone replaced. When the man checks his phone again, there are still no new messages, so he sets fire to all his possessions, including the furniture, the house, his phone, and a picture of the man and his girlfriend, back when they were still in love. At the end of the video, the girlfriend drives over, only to see the band performing the sad song in front of the burning house. Then she steps out of the car, and the video ends.
