The song was published in 2004, where the songwriter of the song, wrote about his best friend. His best friend was the high school football player, who got his girlfriend pregnant, and ended up sticking by her side and raising the child together. However, at the age of one, the baby had passed away, which resulted in the creation of this song.

This piece of pop culture is a prime example of how teenage pregnancy can turn out in a negative way, as one part of the song states, “All he could see were his dreams goin' up in
