"Street Called Main" is a song recorded and co-produced by New Zealand-born Australian-American country artist Keith Urban. The song was written by Chris LaCorte, Josh Miller, and Scooter Carusoe.[1] It was intended to be included on a 2023 album by Urban that was later cancelled.[2]
Background
When Urban first heard the demo of "Street Called Main", he loved it "right out of the gate," especially for the melody and lyrics.[3] He viewed the song as conveying the idea that "some memories are triggered by the simplest of things, like finding yourself anywhere in the world - even on a 'street called main' - and suddenly 'she' comes flooding back.[4] Urban described the song as "pure ‘open road with the windows down’ nostalgia that just makes you feel good."[5] He recorded the track in Nashville, Tennessee with longtime co-producer Dann Huff.[6][7]
The single art that features Urban holding a boombox over his head is a tribute to a scene from the 1989 film Say Anything....[3]
Music video
The official music video for "Street Called Main" premiered on November 17, 2022.[8] It was filmed in Portland, Tennessee, and was directed by Justin Key, marking his first collaboration with Urban.[9]
