It points to different areas in the society of America and reminds us of how blessed we are ’cause we are here. During the time the U.S. was going through difficulties, the track is a reminder that our country is a beautiful place to inhabit. Featuring some truly American cultures and elements of our history, the song gives a clear impression about freedom, perquisites, and recognition we have been bestowed by those who have battled for independence. 

With the song, Atkins shows his love for his country and fellowmen. He has strived to make himself connected with people. He has a straightforward way that touches people of different classes. In particular, the power of this single is that it centers on the hearts of the US citizens, from those living in rural areas to those in downtown. The lyrics and composition of the song are easy to listen to.
