“‘This
Far’ came from wanting to write a nuanced song that shows the strength
in vulnerability when fighting for someone who you think is worth the
fight,” Parker stated in a recent interview. “It’s
about asking for what you want and practically approaching the
complexities of relationships. Too often, women in country are expected
to sing about a relationship happening to them, but this is about the
woman happening to the relationship. ‘This Far’ is about the part where
the hard work comes in and when you come to the table to lay everything
out.”
