Old Dominion Celebrates First No.1 With ‘Break Up With Him’
The song topped the charts for two consecutive weeks in November and is the only song from their debut album, Meat and Candy, that the band wrote together.
Yesterday, Old Dominion gathered with friends and family to celebrate their No.1 smash hit, “Break Up With Him” before playing a sold-out show in Nashville’s Marathon Music Works.
The song topped the charts for two consecutive weeks in November and is the only song from their debut album, Meat and Candy, that the band wrote together.
Members Matthew Ramsey, Brad Tursi, and Trevor Rosen all have their own songwriting successes, having written No.1 songs for acts like Kenny Chesney, The Band Perry and Tyler Farr, but having their first as a band was all the more sweet.
“I think it’s definitely sweeter,” OD’s Trevor Rosen told reporters prior to the celebration. “Yeah, we’ve been through it a couple times, you know, doing the number one party and everything, and now, it feels completely different to me. It feels different than any one of them that I’ve been through. I mean, even watching it climb the charts was different, you know? You hear it on the radio and you go, ‘well, that’s not just a song I wrote, that’s us playing that.”
Ramsey agreed and has noticed a shift in the audience’s reaction to the song during their live shows. “It even feels different when we play it,” he explained. “You know, we play, on the longer sets, the songs we’ve written for other people, but when we get to that point and we play that song, just the reaction. You can just tell it’s different chemistry on the song that we wrote that’s ours and is No.1. We feel it and it’s amazing.”
“It’s like a double miracle,” Tursi concluded.
Fans can catch Old Dominion perform “Break Up With Him” and their latest single, “Snapback,” during their 2016 run on Chesney’s Spread The Love Tour with Miranda Lambert and Sam Hunt.
