It was released in August 1999 as the first single from her album So Good Together. The song reached number 3 on the Billboard Hot Country Singles & Tracks chart in January 2000 and number 31 on the Billboard Hot 100 becoming her first crossover hit and top 40 hit on the Billboard Hot 100.[2] It is her highest peaking single on that chart.[3] A video was produced of the song, and has aired on CMT, CMT Pure Country and Great American Country. ContentThe song's main premise explores a protagonist's struggle to appropriately explain or respond to different situations. The story — as depicted in the song's video, directed by Deaton Flanigen, is told from the perspective of a typical American family. The first verse sees the father and young son driving around town. While stopped at a red traffic light, the boy sees an adult bookstore and, spotting the store's marquee, asks "What are those X's for?" The father decides he does not want his son to know the type of business taking place inside the store and quickly changes the subject to football. In the next verse, the teen-aged daughter is at a friend's party, where she quickly becomes very drunk. After becoming ill, she becomes frightened and calls her mother to come get her. The mother does just that, upholding a promise to not ask any questions. Music videoIn the video, directed by Robert Deaton and George Flanigen, the mother is suffering from the final stages of cancer; this is revealed when she removes her wig and sees that she has lost her hair due to chemotherapy. In the song's final verse, the woman's family is at her bedside saying their final goodbyes. Although she has been trying to maintain her strength, she knows that her life is about to end. Her final apparent words to her family are a whispered "I want to go home." As the video ends, a photo collage of the woman and her family in more pleasant times (presumably on display at the woman's visitation and funeral) is shown, before the three surviving members of the family — the father, daughter and son — leave the hospital in sadness. They walk by McEntire and two children, who are in the hallway for an unexplained reason; this is the only moment in the entire video in which McEntire appears. Furthermore, this video marks the third of such in McEntire's career to not feature her singing, the other two being 1991's "Is There Life Out There" and 1992's "The Night the Lights Went Out in Georgia." The video received a nomination for a Grammy Award for Best Short Form Music Video.[4] Chart performance
