The video's ending mirrors that of the beginning, with a vintage interview clip of McEntire quoting her mom telling her \"you did good,\" to which the singer corrected her saying, \"we did good.\"

\"One year ago yesterday, Mama went to heaven. I know she’s still not giving up on me. Thank you Mama,\" the singer wrote on Instagram Monday.
