The song is a mid-tempo in which the narrator recalls various moments in his life, and how he is reminded of each of them when every time he hears a certain song. He references many of these songs, including Jack & Diane, Only the Good Die Young, and Rock'n Me. In the chorus, the narrator reflects in his past explaining his time, such as spending time on a football line, "driving [his] first love out to the levy," and losing a good friend, Lance Wilson, at age 16. The official music video ends with the note: "In memory of Lance Wilson and all the summers I shared with him".[2]
