Content

[edit | edit source]

"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 sings "We were smoking a little, from a half an ounce," to "We were stuck in the middle, lovin’ every ounce."
