Background
McCreery told CMT the inspiration was from his wife, Gabi, because their work lives were too busy, so he preferred to have her all to himself.{{cite web|url=http://www.cmt.com/news/1824647/scotty-mccreery-declares-that-its-time-for-you-time/|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200920130748/http://www.cmt.com/news/1824647/scotty-mccreery-declares-that-its-time-for-you-time/|url-status=dead|archive-date=September 20, 2020|title=Scotty McCreery Declares That It’s Time for "You Time"|publisher=CMT|last=Bonaguro|first=Alison|date=September 3, 2020|access-date=July 15, 2021}}
