[Intro: All]
(Ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh, ooh)

[Verse 1: Jon]
Do you love the rain, does it make you dance
When you're gone with your friends at a party?
What's your favorite song, does it make you smile?
Do you think of me?

[Pre-Chorus: Devin]
When you close your eyes, tell me, what are you dreamin'?
Everything, I wanna know it all

[Chorus: Andrew, all]
I'd spend ten thousand hours and ten thousand more
Oh, if that's what it takes to learn that sweet heart of yours
And I might never get there, but I'm gonna try
If it's ten thousand hours or the rest of my life
I'm gonna love you (Ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh, ooh)

[Verse 2: Sam]
Do you miss the road that you grew up on?
Did you get your middle name from your grandma?
When you think about your forever now, do you think of me?

[Pre-Chorus: Devin, all]
When you close your eyes, tell me, what are you dreamin'?
Everything, I wanna know it all

[Chorus: Andrew, all]
I'd spend ten thousand hours and ten thousand more
Oh, if that's what it takes to learn that sweet heart of yours
And I might never get there, but I'm gonna try
If it's ten thousand hours or the rest of my life
I'm gonna love you (Ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh, ooh)
(Ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh, ooh)

[Bridge: Dawson]
Ooh, want the good and the bad and everything in between
Ooh, gotta cure my curiosity
Ooh, yeah

[Chorus: All, Andrew, Jon]
I'd spend ten thousand hours and ten thousand more
Oh, if that's what it takes to learn that sweet heart of yours
And I might never get there, but I'm gonna try (might never get there)
If it's ten thousand hours or the rest of my life
I'm gonna love you (Ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh, ooh) (I'm gonna love you)
(Ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh, ooh)
And I...
(Ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh, ooh) (I'm gonna love you)
(Ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh, ooh)

As Dr Seuss famously stated, “Sometimes the questions are complicated and the answers are simple”. Why has there never been a pop/country boy band? The answer is simple and, of course, musical in nature. Timing.

Never before in history have genres blended so seamlessly and pop culture lines been so blurred. What was once the exception is the new normal. Thanks in large part to artists like Taylor Swift and Florida Georgia Line, pop/country is dominating the charts. Taking a cue from the playlist generation, OTO seamlessly combines the best elements of pop with the Nashville song craft of country music. The result is truly unique and undeniably fresh.

On The Outside’s first single, ”How Did You Know”, was co-written by Grammy winner Hillary Lindsey (Taylor Swift, Carrie Underwood, Lady Gaga), Steven Lee Olsen (Keith Urban, Craig Morgan) and Mike Shimshack (Britney Spears, Laura Bell Bundy) and was released on June 28, 2019.
