Miranda Lambert via Billboard:

I feel like when you listen to this song, there’s really nothing to read into. It says what it says. Everybody has a vice. Everybody goes through a time in their life when they run to it a little bit more than when they don’t. When I’m journaling my life and putting it on paper to a melody and then allowing people to hear it, I can’t worry about what somebody might twist it into, because it’s not like I’m hiding anything… Every record I’ve ever made has been a reflection of where I am right then in my life, however old I am. And I’ve never held back at all. But this time, with what I happened to be going through in my life, being honest was never really a choice. Everybody knew anyway. So I just said, I’m gonna journal it, and – good days and bad days – use it for my art.

The term “vice” refers to a bad habit, weakness of character, or behaviour that could be viewed as being sinful. In the song, Miranda sings about sex and alcohol being her vices (temptations), numbing the pain and heartache of her divorce from Blake Shelton.
