Considered a women's anthem, the song finds Clark singing about all of the things she would do if she could get away. Multiple versions were recorded for airplay in specific American cities, replacing the album lyric "see the Yankees play ball" with baseball or football teams in that area. An example is the Washington, D.C. version, which replaced the Yankees with the Washington Redskins NFL team. Others include Baltimore referencing the Baltimore Ravens and Orioles, New England referencing the New England Patriots, some parts of Boston referencing Red Sox, Arizona referencing the Arizona Diamondbacks, Florida referencing the Florida Gators, and Wisconsin with the Green Bay Packers.

Critical reception
Deborah Evans Price, of Billboard magazine reviewed the song favorably, saying that the song is "marked by Clark's effervescent delivery and a well-written lyric that is instantly relatable." She adds that initially, Clark's performance "reverberates with the frustration often produced by the tedium of daily living, but when she romps into the chorus and unleashes her litany of hopes, dreams, and desires, the longing in her vocal is palpable." She concludes her review by saying that it is "one of those fee-good songs that is an immediate musical motivator sure to make listeners shake off their doldrums and reach for that brass ring-or perhaps the nearest shot of tequila."
