"No Such Thing as a Broken Heart" and "Written in the Sand" both censored the word "shit" (the former just muted it, while the latter replaced "cut through the shit" with "cut to the quick"), and "Hotel Key" swapped out a marijuana reference.

Added DiffLines:

CountryMusic band which, as their name indicates, hails from Virginia. Members are Matthew Ramsey (lead vocals), Trevor Rosen (guitar, keyboards), Whit Sellers (drums), Geoff Sprung (bass), and Brad Tursi.

Initially, Old Dominion was formed to perform songs that their members had written. Tursi, Ramsey, and Rosen in particular had landed several cuts by famous country singers. An independent EP released in 2014 caught the attention of the Nashville community when "Shut Me Up" started getting radio airplay. As a result, the band was signed to Creator/RCARecords Nashville. Their first official single, "Break Up with Him", gathered traction on Sirius XM's "The Highway", and then on terrestrial radio as well.

"Break Up with Him" went on to become a #1 hit on Country Airplay, and it helped to move their debut album ''Meat and Candy''. Also released from the album were "Snapback" and "Song for Another Time". Their second album ''Happy Endings'' includes the hits "No Such Thing as a Broken Heart", "Written in the Sand", and "Hotel Key".

The band's music is slick country-pop noted for its polished production and strong songwriting, usually from the band members themselves.

You gotta love like there's no such thing as a broken heart
