Old Dominion gets good laughs from the ‘bad songs’ they’ve written: ‘We have a lot’

Old Dominion has been cranking out the hits for ten years now making it hard to believe anything they write not being deemed Country gold. While they’ve seen great success with singles like, “Break Up With Him,” “One Man Band,” and “Memory Lane,” the guys say there are plenty of “bad songs” penned for every good one they write.

LISTEN NOW : Old Dominion gets good laughs from the ‘bad songs’ they’ve written

“We have a lot of bad songs in our history,” admitted Geoff Sprung . “We actually talked about putting out an album called The Worst of the Worst," he laughed.

“That’s also a dangerous thing because people might actually really love them,” Matt Ramsey said before Trevor Rosen added, “And then we have to play them.”

Whether the other songs are really as bad as they say they are, the guys definitely know when they produce a hit, which is exactly what happened with their brand new single, “Coming Home.”

“We knew right away that it was the type of song that we needed to record.” The guys shared. “So, we wrote it and recorded it right there in the studio that day.”

While the process was quick, it was one they’d had success with before as they wrote and recorded their hit, “Make It Sweet,” in one day.  While they were pretty confident with the momentum they had surrounding the new single, Ramsey shared it’s always a risk to write and record in one day.

“The danger is, you can be so excited about something in the moment and it’s not as good as you think it is.” Clearly not the case with the new single, “Coming Home,” available now. Hear it below.
