The song talks about how love is more than just saying \u201cI love you\u201d; it\u2019s about showing that love through actions. Bettencourt explained to Joe Bosso from \u2018Music Aficionado\u2019 how they created the song and how it surprised everyone when it became a hit.

It doesn\u2019t have that part in typical ballads where you go, \u2018OK, everybody get ready for the big hook.\u2019 It kind of meanders. But that\u2019s the beauty of the song, I think.
