In it, the male narrator sings about his vain attempts to `` drown '' the memory of a former loved one by drinking whiskey, but instead observes that the memory of said lover `` drowns the whiskey. '' Aldean said that he was a `` big fan '' of Lambert, and had wanted to do a second duet with her after `` Grown Woman '', an album track from his 2007 album Relentless. After she expressed indifference to the first song he had suggested to her, he sent her `` Drowns the Whiskey '' and she agreed to perform on it.
