Content

The song is a duet with Megan Moroney. Old Dominion's Matthew Ramsey spoke favorably of Moroney's involvement on the song, highlighting her intuition as a singer-songwriter, saying "I think we all loved the way she creates a song, her sense of how notes flow, but she's both songwriter/singer who came in and pushed this song to almost a scene from a movie".[1] It was co-written by Ramsey and fellow band member Trevor Rosen with Tofer Brown and Emily Weisband.

Music video

The music video for "Can't Break Up Now" was directed by Mason Allen and Nicki Fletcher[2] and premiered on October 2, 2023.[3] Described as capturing "the realities of life on the road", it depicts Moroney preparing for a show at the vanity in her dressing room before showing Ramsey reflecting out the window of his tour bus, and culminating in an on-stage performance between the two with the rest of the band joining them.[2]
