Infobox and lead

 * Infobox looks good!
 * You should mention in the opening sentence that the song was recorded by the singer "for his fifth studio album, Country Again: Side A (2021)."
 * Done. DanCherek (talk) 21:58, 16 June 2021 (UTC)
 * Move the release sentence to being before the one about the song's lyrics
 * Not sure if I'm understanding this correctly because that was how it had been — did you mean to suggest moving the release sentence to being after the one about the lyrics? If so, done. Please let me know if I misunderstood. DanCherek (talk) 21:58, 16 June 2021 (UTC)
 * I meant this as in it should be the one after the writing/production, which would make it come before the lyrics. --K. Peake 10:18, 17 June 2021 (UTC)
 * Oh, got it — done. DanCherek (talk) 12:39, 17 June 2021 (UTC)

 * Done (with Valory). DanCherek (talk) 21:58, 16 June 2021 (UTC)
 * Remove father introduction to Rhett Atkins since that being in the body only is sufficient
 * Done. DanCherek (talk) 21:58, 16 June 2021 (UTC)
 * Add a sentence about the song being inspired by Rhett's road travels across the United States after the writing/production info
 * Done. DanCherek (talk) 21:58, 16 June 2021 (UTC)

 * Done. DanCherek (talk) 21:58, 16 June 2021 (UTC)
 * The critical reception sentence should be at the end of the first para; info from the second needs moving because it's too short
 * Done. DanCherek (talk) 21:58, 16 June 2021 (UTC)
 * "reviews from critics," → "reviews from music critics," with the pipe, but more reviews need adding to back this up
 * Done, and added additional reviews. DanCherek (talk) 21:58, 16 June 2021 (UTC)
 * "It reached number one" → "The song reached number one" plus move this and the following sentence to starting the para below
 * Done. DanCherek (talk) 21:58, 16 June 2021 (UTC)
 * "the US Billboard Hot Country Songs, and the Canada" → "Billboard Hot Country Songs, and Canada" plus specify which chart(s) it was his 17th number one on

 * Wikilink music video
 * Done. DanCherek (talk) 21:58, 16 June 2021 (UTC)
