The song received generally positive reviews from country music critics. It's got kind of a dirty hillbilly, but it's still commercial enough, I think, for country radio." Critical reception It's got a little bluegrass, it's got some fiddle, it's got some steel and it's got some spoons. I think it's gonna be the best one that we've given radio. In an interview with The Boot, Pickler raved about the song: "I've never been more excited about even just a single that we're releasing to radio. The song's female narrator expresses that while she is just a regular girl ("I wanted lace / I wanted pearls / To be a princess like the other girls"), she was able to overcome challenges in her life by staying "tough" ("Tough / I ain’t never been nothing but tough / All my edges have always been rough"). "Tough" is an up-tempo country song, featuring a neo-traditional production with fiddle, spoons, and steel guitar.
