Brothers Osborne are staying a little longer near the top of the country charts with their hit single, “Stay a Little Longer,” that’s just climbed inside the Top 3. The video for the song is also sitting pretty at No. 13 on the CMT Hot 20 Countdown, as well.
The Peter Zavadil-directed clip for “Stay a Little Longer” was shot inside an empty Nashville warehouse and features five real-life couples. What you see is those couples, which range from an older couple to an interracial couple and a same-sex couple, love each other, argue, get back together – all of which reflects reality for each of us.
“Overall, everyone was very supportive and loved that concept, and we had some people that were frustrated with us for putting like a same-sex couple in there and interracial, but at the end of the day, we felt that it was actually more discriminating against people if we were to just leave people out,” says TJ Osborne. “The whole concept was that it’s for everyone, so it’s like let’s put everyone in it. You know, it’s a song we all feel and it’s something that we all go through together. We’re so different as people, but the feeling of love or not love or not sure it it’s love is something everyone understands and goes through.”
“Stay a Little Longer” is from their new album, Pawn Shop, which was released on Friday (January 15th).
In support of the album release, John and TJ will make their national TV debut with NBC’s Late Night With Seth Meyers Monday (January 18th) followed by the Today show on Tuesday (January 19th).
The duo recently earned their first ever GRAMMY nomination for their current Top 3 hit “Stay A Little Longer.”

“The song is really kind of inspired by the fact that everyone kind of feels this, and it really hasn’t been talked about. You usually talk about being in love or being heartbroken, but everyone feels that weird, kind of unexplainable, in-between phase. So, we were kind of like, we could not find some actors to put in here, let’s go out and find real couples and tell the story of, whether it was the older couple or the young, beautiful couple and the interracial couple and the same-sex couple, and it not be about one thing and have it be about everything. Overall, everyone was very supportive and loved that concept, and we had some people that were frustrated with us for putting like a same-sex couple in there and interracial, but at the end of the day, we felt that it was actually more discriminating against people if we were to just leave people out. The whole concept was that it’s for everyone, so it’s like let’s put everyone in it. You know, it’s a song we all feel and it’s something that we all go through together.
