"Hotel Key" is a song by American country music group Old Dominion. It is the third single from their second album Happy Endings, and it was released to radio in April 2018.

Content

"Hotel Key" is about a couple who has a one-night stand at a hotel, but does not forget their encounter after it is over. In particular, the female half of the couple keeps the hotel key as a memento after the encounter is over.[1] Group members Matthew Ramsey and Trevor Rosen wrote the song with Josh Osborne.[2]

The radio version changes the verse where Ramsey says “We were smoking a little, from a half an ounce," to “We were stuck in the middle, lovin’ every ounce.”

The song's music video was directed by Jim Wright, and was filmed at the Safari Inn in Murfreesboro, Tennessee. It portrays a couple's encounter at a hotel, with Ramsey portraying a desk clerk.[3]
