Meaning of “Make It Sweet” by Old Dominion
Old Dominion’s song “Make It Sweet” is an ode to positive thinking. In this song, they are advising the addressee, a love interest, that even though life in general may suck, they should just do the best with what they’ve been given.
The reason for such a favorable disposition is due to the mutual affection felt between the two. For instance, the singers are not burdened with doubts about the fidelity of their lover. They also have access to sweet lovin’ seven days a week. Indeed they implore their boo to love them always as life is not to be taken for granted, so they want to enjoy every minute of it.
Later, the song is imbued with a beautiful scenario of the couple riding in a Jeep along the coastline. The top of the vehicle is off, and the singer is enjoying watching the wind whip through his shorty’s hair, the selection on the radio and the whole atmosphere in general. In fact it is so pleasurable that the experience alone becomes more important than reaching the actual destination.
Later in the bridge, the song once again picks up on the theme of the importance of not taking time for granted. Indeed this night is unique in and of itself, and the couple should take advantage of such by once again engaging in romance.
By and large, Old Dominion is using the lyrics of this song to entreat their love interest to make this mundane and short life sweet through romance.
