about

The O.T.W.N. Album is the fourth studio album released by American boy band O-Town, and the second to be released by the band since their reunion as a four-piece in 2011. The album was funded by fans through a Kickstarter campaign. The album was first released in 2017 as an E.P. titled Part 1 with just 5 tracks.

Regarding the song selection process for their new album, O.T.W.N, Jacob Underwood said, "The fans basically funded this record and we wanted to make them happy, first and foremost. The songs were written by us with the fans in mind. We wanted to do a party song, a message song, and 'Over,' which is a ballad reminiscent of 'All or Nothing.' We picked these songs with them in mind, thinking the fans will love them as well."

Erik-Michael Estrada noted that his favorite song on the album is "O.T.W.N," which was inspired by his family that lives on Long Island. "Unfortunately, one of my cousins passed away, and I channeled that energy into an idea, which would become the song," he said. "It's a ballad, it's heartfelt and it comes from a real place," he said.

Jacob picked "Hello World" as his favorite, while Trevor Penick listed "Off," and Dan Miller selected "Over" and "Giants." "Both of these songs almost didn't happen. I had to fight for them to push through," Miller admitted.

lyrics
Empty Space

It went down today
Like a spiral staircase
All the way to the floor
I won't let you leave
Even if it means
I'll stand in front of the door

Cause there's a black hole in my heart
If I ain't with you (I ain't with you)
Every shape, every trace, or the curves around your body
I don't know what I should do, cause I ain't myself if I ain't with you

And I can't get you up out of my head
No I can't get you up out of my heart
And I can't get you up out of my bed
Cause once you leave, they'll only be
Empty space
Empty Space
Empty Space
Cause once you leave they'll only be
Empty Space

I've never felt this pain, it ain't Novocaine
It can own my heart now
I can't fill up the void
I swear I hear your voice
And you know where to be found

Cause there's a black hole in my heart
If I ain't with you
Every shape, every trace, or the curves around your body
I don't know what I should do (Don't know what I should do)
Cause I ain't myself if I ain't with you

And I can't get you up out of my head
No I can't get you up out of my heart
And I can't get you up out of my bed
Cause once you leave, they'll only be
Empty space
Empty Space
Empty Space
Cause once you leave they'll only be
Empty Space
Cause once you leave they'll only be

Hey no empty space is no respecting
But this emptiness is depressing
You ain't gotta ask no questions
I'm full, 1K, invest it
You can grab my black book
Throw it out, look through my phone
Just trust
Help me fill your cups
And you know what's up
But if you leave there's only just

Empty space
Empty Space
Empty Space (ad libs)
Cause once you leave they'll only be Empty Space
Empty Space
Empty Space
Empty Space (ad libs)
Cause once you leave they'll only be Empty Space
