Background
Both Rempel brothers of High Valley are married and have kids with their wives, and they elected to use a play-on-words with the sing title. Rather than singing about being a "single man", the song is the narrator singing about how they don't know a single man who wouldn't want what he has.[3] Brad Rempel, who co-wrote the track, said he "loved how it talked about how sometimes, being single looks amazing but it never can beat what we have at home with our family".[4]

Critical reception
Billy Dukes of Taste of Country said the song "feels like something you'd keep time with around the campfire", adding that High Valley "[doubles] down on the foot-stomping, rootsy sound they've softly been introducing to mainstream country music crowds in the United States.[5] Nicole Bochinis of NY Country Swag called the track "upbeat", saying "the future is looking very bright" for the group.[6]
