The song, written by Matthew Ramsey, Trevor Rosen, Brad Tursi and Jesse Frasure, is about facing the world head-on and not letting life get you down.

“Cause you can’t keep the ground from shaking / no matter how hard you try / you can’t keep the sunsets from fading / gotta treat your life like / your jumping off a rope swing baby cause the whole thing’s really just a shot in the dark / you gotta love like there’s no such thing as a broken heart. / you gotta love like there’s no such thing as a broken heart,” OD sings in the chorus.

Due to be released to country radio on Friday, March 10, the new tune is the first single from Old Dominion’s second offering. The album will be the follow-up to their debut, Meat & Candy, which featured hits “Breakup With Him” and “Song for Another Time.”
