Background

Walker told Country Weekly, "I loved this song from the moment I heard it. I love it when men are able to let their women be in control, because, to me, that's a sign of strength. I also love the lyrics. My favorite line is, 'She likes chocolate about as much as she likes me.' In my case, that's probably true!"
Ara Jansen of The West Australian commented to Walker about the line in the song about his partner loving chocolate as much as she likes him and Walker stated, "The quicker you realise that, the better off you are. Men stay the same and I always smile when I sing that song. I'm a much happier person in my marriage than I was five or six years ago because I figured that out." Walker told the Lodi News-Sentinel, "I'm a romantic, so I like love songs. I guess there are a lot of people out there that are in love or want to be in love."
Richie McDonald who co-wrote "She's Always Right" previously toured with Walker as a member of Lonestar in 1996.
