21 Summer

John and TJ Osborne wrote this lament to lost love with Craig Wiseman (Blake Shelton's "Hillbilly Bone," Tim McGraw's "Live Like You Were Dying"). We hear the brothers lament the love lost. How yah been I'd love to hear bout how you been You're the only broken heart I've ever had and love to have again "It's that eerie nostalgia that you can't quite put your finger on," guitarist John Osborne told Billboard magazine. "It's about looking back on a time in your life, regardless of how a previous relationship went. Whatever went wrong seemed to drift away and you only remember the glow of it, and the beauty of it and the importance of it."

The Jay Joyce-produced track was the third single to be dropped from Pawn Shop. The release has a slightly different feel to the version that the pair first recorded. "Jay had the idea for the song, and it was kind of weird because people loved the original version we had, and we knew people were probably not gonna like the fact that it was changed," said TJ Osborne. "He's like, 'I think it would be really cool to have a song that was a little more, felt like you could put on and it'd just be chill.'" "A lot of country records don't really have that; they're a little bit more kind of attention grabbing," he added. "And so, we loved that idea. We have those songs that are kind of a little bit more in your face, but it'd be cool to have a song that was just very relaxed and kind of almost have that kind of California country thing to it."

The Osbornes added their voices to the backing vocal group which also includes their sister, Natalie Osborne; bassist Pete Sternberg; and John's wife, English singer-songwriter Lucie Silvas. The latter clocked up a couple of Top 10 hits of her own in her native country in 2004.
