Zach Bryan wrote “Something In The Orange” in a cabin in Wisconsin as he watched the sunset. The song tells the story of a man lamenting a doomed relationship. He’s been left alone by his lover, and he can’t help but desperately miss her. He holds on to the faith that she will eventually find her way to him, but “somethin’ in the orange” is telling him that she’s never coming home.

“To you, I’m just a man, to me, you’re all I am. Where the hell am I supposed to go? I poisoned myself again, something in the orange tells me you’re never comin’ home,” the song goes.

Indeed, the strolling heartbreak ballad is filled with country music’s signature soul with a soaring acoustic guitar and harmonica behind it. Bryan’s lyricism really makes him stand out among the rest.
