ā€œIā€™m literally at a loss for words,ā€ Lane said to the crowd before thanking those who supported the song. ā€œIt takes a whole team of everybody, and Country radio I love you guys. Thank you so much for believing in me. To the fans, thank you so much for this. I love you guys. This is special. I canā€™t wait to hang this up in my house.ā€
