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, Oregon, and was directed by Justin Key, marking his first collaboration with Urban. [9]
