Nashville-based songwriter Roger Murrah wrote the song with Tanya Tucker's then-fiancé, Jerry Laseter. Laseter also co-produced the song with Barry Beckett, and Tucker released it through her own Tuckertime label.^[3]

Lyrically, the song is a woman telling an ex-lover that she will be "hard to forget". Deborah Evans Price of Billboard wrote of the song that Tucker "exudes all the sass and personality that made her a star at 13...and has carried her through three decades of hits."^[4]
