I thought it might even be about her mother's death. And then when she sang that line, it sounded rather somber in keeping with the assumptions I'd been forming.

As I learned with Everybody Loves You, you can't tell anything by a song snippet, especially since the snippet Stevie gave us was acapella. But, to me, nothing I heard of the song or about it presaged an upbeat number was coming.

I just wish it had been released before the concert so we would know the words and they could have seen the audience singing along.
