Interesting facts and trivia about Break Up with Him. By Songfacts®.

Old Dominion is a five-member country music band comprising lead singer Matthew Ramsey, guitarist and keyboardist Trevor Rosen, guitarist Brad Tursi, drummer Whit Sellers and bassist Geoff Sprung. The group was assembled in Nashville, but four-fifth of the members were born in Virginia, (Rosen is from Woodhaven, Michigan). Matthew Ramsey and Trevor Rosen have already a number of hit songs on their resumes. Separately or jointly, they've penned successful tunes for the likes of Chris Young ("Neon"), Craig Morgan ("Wake Up Lovin' You") and Band Perry ("Chainsaw").

This is a track from their debut self-titled EP. The song began when Old Dominion were on the road. "It was, like, two in the morning, and we were headed to Myrtle Beach to do a show, and we were sitting in the back of the van just working on it," Ramsey recalled to Country Weekly. "The one thing that makes that song special to us is that's the first song that all five [band members] have written together."

The song's music video pays tribute to the movie Back to the Future, with Matthew Ramsey playing a part inspired by the film's Marty McFly, and each of the One Dominion band members taking on various other roles. Much like the inspiration for the song, the idea for the clip began when Old Dominion were on the road. "It's this crazy reconstruction of all our favorite scenes," Ramsey told Taste of Country. "We're constantly on the bus talking about the movie. We're all huge fans, so we wanted to do something different and not just kind of interpret the song." "This is a way that we could do it because it's got a girl and it's got a bully," Ramsey added. "The girl is with the bully and the main character wants to get his girl. It works with the song and it allows us to relive our childhood with a movie we grew up loving."
