History

Old Dominion released "Memory Lane" on January 5, 2023. Band members Matthew Ramsey, Trevor Rosen, and Brad Tursi wrote the song with Jessie Jo Dillon. Ramsey described the song as having a "nostalgic" theme for "memories of simpler times".^[1] Billy Dukes of Taste of Country wrote that the song "is bittersweet defined. A warm, traveling guitar beat drives you to a second verse that lets you down easy. Like the lover singer Matt Ramsey is describing, the beat just keeps on driving after that."^[2]

The band's label, Arista Nashville, closed partway through the single's release, so distribution rights were taken over by Columbia Nashville in March 2023.^[3]

The music video for "Memory Lane" premiered on March 22, 2023 and was directed by Mason Allen and Nicki Fletcher.^[4]
