The track features thumping drums, twangy guitars and a chorus built for singing at volume, produced by Michael De Lorenzis and accompanied by a visualiser filmed at a Pokolbin winery. --- Fresh from his appearance at the Country Calling Showcase at **Groundwater Country Music Festival**, country-pop riser **Nathan Lamont** is coming in hot with his new single, **‘Like We Used To’**. ![Person in cap and sunglasses relaxing on a bed in a minimalist bedroom interior.](https://media.onyourmarkus.au/admin/2026/10/99049447-c44d-4c73-8bad-8e6ec808957b.jpg) A windows-down, volume-up country anthem, **‘Like We Used To’** pairs thumping drums, twangy guitars and a chorus built for singing at the top of your lungs. With a little more old-school country swagger than fans might expect, **Nathan** delivers a high-octane slice of nostalgia that's equal parts heartache and good-time energy. But beneath all that horsepower is a story about young love and the things we wish we could get back. *“‘Like We Used To’ is a really personal song for me, but in a way that I think a lot of people can relate to,” *reveals **Nathan***. “It’s about looking back at a time when life felt simpler, remembering the little things that made a relationship special and wondering if you can find some of that feeling again as life changes.”* Written in Nashville alongside Australian songwriter **Jesse Dozzi** during **Nathan's** 2025 **CMAA Sister Cities Nashville Exchange**, **‘Like We Used To’** finds the singer-songwriter looking in the rear-view mirror, wondering where the good old days went and whether there's still a road back. *“We started with the idea of those early memories, young love, driving around in a beat up car, with the windows down, and it just grew from there. We wanted to make something that felt nostalgic without being heavy, so we leaned into a big, upbeat country-pop sound with driving guitars and a really catchy chorus.”* [Watch on YouTube](https://youtu.be/OLK0yhJ-n5U?si=WgL1jg77R64Re1pe) Produced by **Michael De Lorenzis**, **‘Like We Used To’** doesn't waste much time getting out of first gear. A relentless driving beat and gutsy guitars give the track plenty of muscle, while **Nathan's** unmistakable vocal rides high above the arrangement. It's a sound made for the live stage, and that was exactly the intention. *“I had one request to Michael, which was to give me the type of energy I could start a show to and Michael absolutely nailed that balance between the live, organic feel of the guitars and a polished modern country-pop production.”* The single arrives hot on the heels of **‘Loves To Hate Me’**, which made plenty of noise across Australian country radio, claiming the **#1** spot on both the **AMRAP Community Radio National** and **Regional Airplay Charts** across all genres, and reaching **#30** on the **Country Songs Top 40 Australian Airplay Chart**. ![Man wearing a New York Yankees cap and brown jacket sits on a bed in a casual indoor setting.](https://media.onyourmarkus.au/admin/2026/10/a3e45069-648a-4790-937b-90e877417766.png) A proud Wiradjuri man from Wagga Wagga, **Nathan **has plenty of runs on the board. With more than **4 million global streams**, **3 x Toyota Star Maker** grand finalist appearances and **2 x** **APRA AMCOS** **Professional Development Award Top 5** finishes to his name, the singer-songwriter is building some serious momentum. And if the song isn't enough to get your feet moving, the accompanying visualiser might just do the trick. Filmed at a winery in Pokolbin by **Jeremy Minett** of **Eyes and Ears Creative**, the video sees **Nathan** swapping the driver's seat for the dance floor. With a little help from country line-dance choreographer **Dusty Rose**, the team cooked up a routine that blends traditional line dancing with TikTok-inspired moves. There's just one catch: **Nathan** admits that dancing isn't exactly his strong suit. ![Man in white cap and t-shirt against dark background, looking downward.](https://media.onyourmarkus.au/admin/2026/10/e53ea9ac-6813-4b8d-999c-89887d1936fe.jpg) *“I definitely got in my head about the dancing because I have absolutely no natural coordination, but I gave it my best shot. In the end, I think that probably adds to the fun of it. It’s not meant to take itself too seriously, and that was really the whole point of the visualiser.”* With a run of live dates taking him from regional New South Wales to Queensland and Victoria, **Nathan** is gearing up to give **‘Like We Used To’** the full-band treatment. Following appearances at the **Dolly Parton Festival**, **Going Country Fest** and **Groundwater Country Music Festival**, upcoming stops include The Beer Shed in Leumeah, Wagga Wagga's **Carnival of Cups** and **Echuca Country Fest**. *“I’m really looking forward to getting back on the road with the band and playing these shows over the coming months. I’ve not done a lot of touring in the past, so to have the opportunity to visit a string of different towns and cities in a small period of time is very new and exciting for me.”* With a growing reputation for bringing the party wherever he goes, **Nathan Lamont** is showing no signs of slowing down. **‘Like We Used To’** is all big hooks, open roads and a healthy dose of country swagger. Buckle up. ![Man wearing white cap and t-shirt against dark background, looking directly at camera.](https://media.onyourmarkus.au/admin/2026/10/cda39dbe-1f88-4f27-a5eb-df15a421bbe0.jpg) **SHOW DATES:** 30th October – The Beer Shed – Leumeah, NSW 6th November – Carnival of Cups – Wagga Wagga, NSW 21st November – Echuca Country Fest – Echuca, VIC **[CONNECT](https://wildheartpublicity.cmail20.com/t/y-l-fhtilhl-kroikgdu-b/)**
