Content

Zach Bryan told Today's Country Radio with Kelleigh Bannen that he wrote the song "in a cabin in Wisconsin".[6] Bryan released two versions of the song: the original single version and an alternate mix which features just his vocals and piano. He had first released snippets of the song via social media in December 2021.[7] Bryan also released a music video for the song containing "crowd sourced footage shot by fans" that "captures the raw and unfiltered emotion" of the song experience.[8][9]

Critical reception

The New York Times wrote that the song “has become his most recognizable hit since his early songs”.[10] Rolling Stone editors described “Z&E’s version” as “a heartbreaking single full of the genre's signature soul, stripped down to only an acoustic guitar and a harmonica”.[11] BroadwayWorld described the song as “Bryan laying himself bare, willing himself to believe there's a chance of survival for an all-but-doomed relationship”.[9]

Chart performance

"Something in the Orange" is Bryan's first entry on the Billboard Hot 100, debuting on the chart dated May 7, 2022,[12] and later peaking at number 12.[13][14]

The release of "Something in the Orange" led Bryan to take the number one position on the Billboard Top Songwriters chart in mid-2022.[15]

The single was officially serviced to mainstream country radio on October 3, 2022.[16]
