<P> In 2006 Womack told Billboard about an incident at the Country Radio Seminar and said, "I made some new friends at radio, caught up with friends that I had known since the beginning of my career and was able to enjoy a few drinks . Unfortunately, the next day I was performing at the MCA luncheon in front of a crowd of radio folks and, feeling a bit under the weather, I completely blanked out on the lyrics of' I Hope You Dance,' of all songs . Lucky for me, most of the audience was hung over too and had a good sense of humor about it ." </P> <P> "I Hope You Dance" is a mid-tempo country pop ballad in which the narrator, a mother, expresses her wishes to her children . </P> <P> Two versions of Womack's recording were released . The original version features Sons of the Desert (who, like Womack, were signed to MCA at the time) singing a counterpoint chorus alongside Womack's main chorus, while a second version of the song released for pop radio omits the counterpoint chorus in favor of background vocals to accompany the main chorus . The song was also Sons of the Desert's first Top 40 country hit since "Leaving October" in 1998 . The music video features Lee Ann Womack singing the song to her daughters . </P> <P> Editors at Billboard gave the song a positive review and wrote, "This is a career record . Years from now, when critics are discussing Womack's vocal gifts and impressive body of work, this is a song that will stand out . It's one of those life - affirming songs that makes you pause and take stock of how you're living . It's filled with lovely poetry that will make listeners think . It's a great song, and Womack does it justice . Her sweet, vulnerable voice perfectly captures the tender sentiment of the lyric . The production is clean and understated, letting Womack's stunning vocal and the great lyric take center stage . Excellence deserves to be rewarded . Ken Barnes of USA Today listed the "I Hope You Dance" as the fourth best song of 2000 and wrote, "Uplifting message song whose greeting - card sentiments and imprecise rhymes are outweighed by a gorgeous performance by today's reigning pure - country vocalist . </P>
