Background

On October 3, 2017, the Aaron West Twitter announced that a new song was imminent.[4] On October 5, 2017, "Orchard Park" was made available for purchase as a Flexi single, with 450 copies being sold online and 550 being sold on tour.[5][6] The online copies sold out the same day,[2] and the song was made available to stream on October 6, 2017.[7] Along with the tracks from Bittersweet, the song was originally written for a second LP, but was released on its own because Dan Campbell was too busy to make an entire Aaron West album.[8] Because the song depicts Aaron and his mother spreading his father's ashes in Orchard Park, some have thought the song takes place before We Don't Have Each Other,[9] but Campbell has stated that the song takes place in late May or early June 2014, after the events of Bittersweet.[8] The song is the first Aaron West release on Loneliest Place On Earth, The Wonder Years' self-made label.[3]
