Content

The song is a recollection of a male narrator's attempts to recover emotionally from a failed relationship, and doing so while drinking alcohol, claiming that "drunk me can't get over you." Tenpenny said that the rest of the song had mostly been written, but that he and his co-writers could not come up with a suitable hook until Jordan Schmidt got up to use the restroom and then returned with the phrase "drunk me". He stated in an interview with iHeartRadio that "People say you go and drink them off your mind. I think that's not what happens...So the concept came around that idea. I quit drinking so I could finally get over you."
