Discover the story of the song > Break Up with Him – Old Dominion

The protagonist is calling his partner late at night, admitting he's a bit tipsy, and telling her to break up with her current boyfriend. He knows she's not truly happy with him and thinks it's better to be honest and end it quickly, rather than dragging it out and wasting time. He encourages her to tell him it's over, come over to him, and just rip the band-aid off. He reassures her that he feels the same way and that they fit well together.
