Content
The narrator is a man who has lost the love of his life. He heads to the jukebox and while playing sad songs he notices another woman going through the same situation. He pitches the idea that maybe if they spent some time together they could comfort each other's loss. The song states that alone is much better together.
Critical reception
Dan Milliken of Country Universe gave the song a 'B' grade, saying that it has a great title that says it all upfront. He goes on to say that "the melody here lands just shy of memorable, and ditto to the story, which never takes its characters deeper than their first encounter at the jukebox." He refers to the song as the kind that will be jukeboxes "and the title pops out enough to ensure you’ll pick it."[2]
