Background
The song was written by Marcel and Kevin Savigar and was included as a track on Marcel's Mercury Records Nashville debut album, You, Me and the Windshield.[1] It was then given to Gracin to record when his manager searched for songs for Gracin's debut album.[2] The song is set at a fast pace, with a string of rapidly delivered lyrics, through which the narrator explains that he has "nothin' to lose" now that he has found a lover.
Music video
Directed by Trey Fanjoy, the video is set at a high school, following a male student who holds a note addressed to "Ann Marie". The note gets passed to each person that comes in contact with it, making its way to the principal's office, where the student is sitting down at and the titular Ann Marie enters to meet the person who asked for her. The video premiered on CMT in late 2004.
