Content
The song has a central theme of nostalgia, listing off several notable events which one may encounter for the last time. It is accompanied mainly by a "syncopated guitar riff".{{cite web | url=https://tasteofcountry.com/brad-paisley-last-time-for-everything/ | title=Brad Paisley, 'Last Time for Everything' [Listen] | publisher=Taste of Country | date=April 7, 2017 | accessdate=June 2, 2019 | author=Billy Dukes}} Paisley said of the song, "It’s nostalgia, there’s guitar playing, it’s sort of a bunch of different influences come out. You can hear elements of Van Halen and The Police that I just sort of buried and subtly put in there that kind of represent different eras. There’s humor in it...and this song is everything I love about country music."{{cite web | url=https://www.onecountry.com/country-music/brad-paisley-last-time-for-everything/ | title=Brad Paisley's New "Last Time For Everything" is the Coolest Ode the Past (and "Stranger Things" and "Back to the Future") | publisher=One Country | date=April 11, 2017 | accessdate=June 2, 2019 | author=Lauren Cowling}} Chris Parton of Rolling Stone wrote that "the tune is built around Paisley’s ace guitar work. His revolving, Police-evoking main riff is doused in slippery twang, but his solo mixes in some arena rock-influenced finger tapping fireworks."{{cite web | url=https://www.rollingstone.com/music/music-country/hear-brad-paisleys-motivational-new-song-last-time-for-everything-123076/ | title=Hear Brad Paisley's Motivational New Song 'Last Time for Everything' | work=Rolling Stone Country | date=April 7, 2017 | accessdate=June 2, 2019 | author=Chris Parton}}
