The first thought I had when I heard this song the other day was, "wow, I haven't heard that in forever and had forgotten how much I liked it". The next thought I had was, "man, that's a really up tempo, peppy kind of a song to be about a guy who's cheating on his girl". The next thought I had was, "I guess that's not all that strange", and I specifically began to think about Reba McEntire's "Take It Back", which deals with a similar situation and made me think about her other similarly themed song "Why Haven't I Heard from You". You can see how my mind works... Those were all good reasons to post the song, but after watching the above performance, I had another reason.
If you watch the live performance I've posted, you'll see that everyone in the group is playing on this tune, and most of the performers are singing, too. They went through a lot of extra work here to recreate as much of what you hear on the album as they could. There are at least three different vocal parts, and I don't mean harmonies, I mean three different lines of vocals, which is especially impressive in the breakdown section. Put on top of that the group is moving around and performing the song while playing, and it's an impressive performance that sounds exceptionally tight. Also, I'd forgotten how gorgeous Twain is.
