Written by Steph Jones (Pink, Selena Gomez), Geoff Warburton (5 Seconds of Summer, Shawn Mendes), Sam Fischer (Demi Lovato, Jessie J), Griffen Palmer and Mark Trussell, the guitar-driven number is a nostalgic throwback to a time before smartphone cameras. Urban didn't write the song, but when his friends sent it to him, he immediately connected with its concept.
"When I first moved to Nashville, my band and I lived in this just, rundown, piece-of-crap house, and we had parties all the time, and somebody gave us a Polaroid camera, and we'd take pictures of everybody and put them up on a wall," the singer told Zane Lowe. "And the idea that this couple in this photograph who were at a party that they didn't really want to be at, but they sort of ran into each other and someone said, 'Hey, smile.' And they snapped them. And then all these years later, they're still together. And who would have thought that someday I'd be more than just a boy in a Polaroid with you, which I thought was just such a great lyric."The video, directed by Dano Serny, finds Urban taking part in a backyard pool party. The clip captures all the action in a virtual Polaroid picture.
