Earlier this week, country music group Old Dominion were the guest recording artists on NBC’s hit series Songland, as they looked for a song to be featured in a new Jeep brand commercial. The band, along with Jeep/FCA CMO Olivier François, chose “Songland” contestant Katelyn Tarver’s “Young” to be released and featured in a 90-second Jeep commercial, in which Tarver also appears as a character.
Songland provides talented up-and-coming songwriters with a one-of-a-kind opportunity to collaborate with visionary music producers who are responsible for today’s biggest hits.
“Songwriting is what this band is built on,” shared Matthew Ramsey, frontman of Old Dominion. “Our love for writing songs and for the people who write them is what got us where we are today. We jumped at the chance to be a part of Songland because it meant that the public would get a glimpse of what we have known for years: Without songwriters there would be no music.”
“Young” is now available to stream/download HERE. Catch Old Dominion’s full live performance below!
“Young” Lyrics
All we had was a feeling
All we knew is we were leaving
A couple drops in the ocean
Go back for just a moment
Before the music was jaded
Before the picture was faded
Falling with our eyes open
It’s gone before you know it
Lately I’ve been thinking about it, baby
If we made it complicated
Or if this is just life, ooh
Lately I’ve been walking on a wire
I know nostalgia is a liar
But I still miss those nights, ooh
Baby, I just wanna be young, young
Forever with you, you
I just wanna be young, young
Forever with you, you
You’re still wearing my jacket
I can still get you laughing
If we ever forget it
Go back just for a minute
You know all my secrets
I know all your demons
You still say you love me
And I know you mean it
But that don’t mean I can’t miss it
Go back just for a minute
Lately I’ve been walking on a wire
I know nostalgia is a liar
But I still miss those nights, ooh
Baby, I just wanna be young, young
Forever with you, you
I just wanna be young, young
Forever with you, you
I just wanna be young, young
Forever with you
Baby, I just wanna be young, young
Forever with you, you
I just wanna be young, young
Forever with you, forever with you
I just wanna be young
