Janson wrote the song with Mitch Oglesby, Jamie Paulin and Matt Roy.<\/p>\n<p>No video treatment even needed to be written, Janson told me. \u201cIt had to be Kelly. There was never any hesitancy on that. I would never put my hands or eyes on another woman. I just wouldn\u2019t make a video otherwise.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOr I just wouldn\u2019t have been in the video,\u201d he added, saying that if Kelly wasn\u2019t playing the wife, he would\u2019ve hired an actor play to the husband. <\/p>\n<p>Kelly concurred that the video for this song came naturally. \u201cThe video is just so us,\u201dshe confirmed. \u201cThe house is our happy place. It\u2019s the dream house we finally bought. We had three days off to be at beach, so we took one afternoon to shoot the video. And it was really just us spending the day at home, frying some bacon, and the whole thing was relaxed and sexy and real. It was like we finally had some time alone, but with other people in the room.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>That made it sort of awkward, she admitted, to be rolling around in bed and dancing in the middle of the room. And when I asked her about the part in the video where Chris brings her a glass of wine as she\u2019s watching the waves roll in, I assumed that was more fiction than fact. I mean, who does that after almost ten years of marriage? Chris. Chris does that. And more. \u201cHe is the most thoughtful human ever. He still leaves notes by my bed or on my pillow if he\u2019s gone for the day,\u201d she shared. <\/p>\n<p>Janson echoed that sentiment, telling me that what the video <em>doesn\u2019t <\/em>show is things they wouldn\u2019t do in real life. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe just wouldn\u2019t do things we wouldn\u2019t normally do,\u201d he said. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou only get to be married once \u2014 that\u2019s it \u2014 so you better do it good.\u201d<\/p>\n<div class=\"author\">\n<div class=\"description\"> Alison makes her living loving country music.
