The song also speaks of the challenges soldiers face after returning home from a tour of duty. 

“I cried so much when I wrote this song,” Twain shared on Instagram. “I wrote it over a matter of weeks. Every time I would go back to writing the song I would just cry. I had to take breaks. I was very emotional…the fear of losing someone you love so much.”
