The music video was directed by Mason Dixon and premiered in May 2015. It shows Aldean performing the song by himself in a warehouse back lot at night, and in a separate scene surrounded by many strobe lights. Between this is a storyline about a man who is working overtime at a factory who desperately longs to go home to his wife. After he is scolded by his boss for not paying attention to his job, he notices another worker (played by Aldean) who is just getting off. After discussing his issue, Aldean agrees to finish the job for him so he can get home. Meanwhile, his wife is seen at home desperately waiting for his return as she is getting ready to go out with him. After packing up his things, he finally returns home in a pickup truck and she jumps into his arms; the two then enjoy their date. Back at the factory, the boss returns only to see Aldean finishing the job the main character was supposed to finish. Shocked, the boss leaves without saying a word, leaving Aldean to finish the job.
This song was penned by Dallas Davidson, Rhett Akins and Ashley Gorley. Though Jason Aldean and Dallas Davidson have been friends for a long time, this is the first time the songwriter has had a cut on one of the Macon, Georgia native's records. "He came out to a show, and was playing some songs," Aldean told Billboard magazine. "He played this, and I knew it was a hit right from the get-go." The song finds Aldean singing about a man who is madly in love with his girl and he can't help complimenting her. You ain't got a dress that I don't like You ain't got a pair of jeans that don't fit you just right There's not a minute in the day that you don't knock me out, that you don't blow me away. Aldean told Billboard: "I heard Lionel Richie say one time that one thing that never goes out of style when you're writing songs is people falling in love and out of love. Those songs are always going to work no matter what." Aldean added that he and producer Michael Knox try to pick those songs very carefully. "To me, it's a fine line of trying to find songs that aren't too soft in what it says," he said. "We don't quote a lot of 'love song' kind of things, but when we do, the melody is always really cool, and the way it's worded isn't really sappy." The music video was directed by Mason Dixon and features Aldean playing a working man who offers to finish a job so his colleague can meet his date. The country star said it was easy for him to return to his blue-collar days, when he worked a regular job, when filming the clip. "It definitely wasn't hard for me to go back to my clock-punching days," he told CMT. "It wasn't that long ago that I was a Pepsi delivery guy, racing the clock, hoping to get home before sundown. So it was easy to put myself back in those shoes and kinda cheer for the guy who works his ass off to get home to his girl." Dixon wanted to reach fans outside the typical 18 to 25 demographic. He explained in a Songfacts interview: "[The song] felt very throwback to me and I was thinking, there's tons of fans that are older. There's older single moms that are fans of Jason, there's old blue-collar guys that are fans of Jason. Where's their video? Where's the storyline that talks about them? That was my approach - let's include this demographic that's not really represented in music videos as much and do something for them and make it a little different." Around the time the video was shot, Aldean got engaged to former American Idol contestant Brittany Kerr, which accounts for him not being the romantic lead in the clip. "It's always touch and go with the artist being romantic lead depending what their dynamic is in their personal life," Dixon explained. "I proactively avoid any sort of conflict that might arise from that."
Ain't got a dress that I don't like Ain't got a pair of jeans that don't fit you just right There's not a minute in the day That you don't knock me out, you don't blow me away But, girl, now that the sun's gone down (whoa-oh-oh) Looking at you right here and now, baby Somethin' about that southern sky Sitting back behind that moon It goes perfect with your eyes Girl, tonight looks good on you It's something about the way you're smiling Making the stars fall right on queue I just gotta tell you, baby Tonight looks good on you I can taste the midnight on your lips Makes me just wanna lean in for another kiss Wind blowing your hair around Girl, it makes me want to lay you down You've been beautiful a million times But I've never seen you look like this, no Somethin' about that southern sky Sitting back behind that moon It goes perfect with your eyes Girl, tonight looks good on you It's something about the way you're smiling Making the stars fall right on queue I just gotta tell you, baby Tonight looks good on you Looks so good on your skin I don't ever, no, I never I don't ever, ever want to end, baby Somethin' about that southern sky Sitting back behind that moon It goes perfect with your eyes Girl, tonight looks good on you It's something about the way you're smiling Making the stars fall right on queue I just gotta tell you, baby Tonight looks good on you Tonight looks good on you I just gotta tell you, baby You look good at party Good at the bar Something 'bout underneath these stars You look good at the house Good in the car You're looking so good anywhere you are Tonight, tonight looks good on you Tonight looks good on you I just gotta tell you, baby
