Cooke took home the win over several stellar videos. The category included Anne Wilson with Rain in the Rearview, Brittney Spencer and Bigger Than the Song and Tigerlily Gold for Shoot Tequila.
Your Place was released on December 11, 2023 as the lead single from her second studio album Shot in the Dark. Cooke co-wrote the song with Jordan Minton and Mark Trussell and it was produced by Jimmy Robbins. Cooke was the recipient of iHeartRadio's On the Verge program.
Directed by ACM award-winner Justin Clough, the video captures the essence of the song’s raw emotions, showcasing Cooke’s autobiographical journey of moving forward and reclaiming her independence after a toxic breakup.
Your Place is a breakup song, which Cooke explained in an interview with Country Now magazine, is "a stand against cheating exes everywhere" with what was described an "empowering breakup anthem" that was "riddled with confidence." Fans caught on to the song when Cooke began sharing the song through social media platforms, and later released it on her debut album, Shot In the Dark.
Cooke recalled her experiences with a past boyfriend whom she had learned had cheated on her. Despite breaking off the relationship and making it clear she was moving on, he kept pestering her about maybe getting back together.
