On the title "Hotel California", Henley said that "the word, 'California,' carries with it all kinds of connotations, powerful imagery, mystique, etc., that fires the imaginations of people in all corners of the globe. They're the same themes that run through all of our work: loss of innocence, the cost of naiveté, the perils of fame, of excess exploration of the dark underbelly of the American dream, idealism realized and idealism thwarted, illusion versus reality, the difficulties of balancing loving relationships and work, trying to square the conflicting relationship between business and art the corruption in politics, the fading away of the Sixties dream of "peace, love and understanding." Henley said of the themes of the songs in the album: The first song written for the album was " Hotel California", which became the theme for the album. A 40th anniversary special edition of Hotel California was released in November 2017. In 20, it was ranked number 37 on Rolling Stone 's list of " The 500 Greatest Albums of All Time". It has been ranked as one of the greatest albums of all time. It has been certified 26× Platinum in the US, and has sold over 32 million copies worldwide, making it the band's best-selling album after Their Greatest Hits (1971–1975). Hotel California is one of the best-selling albums of all time. Three singles were released from the album, with the title track and "New Kid in Town" topping the Billboard Hot 100 and " Life in the Fast Lane" reaching No. The album was also nominated for Album of the Year but lost to Fleetwood Mac's Rumours. At the 20th Grammy Awards, the title track won Record of the Year, and " New Kid in Town" won Best Arrangement for Voices. Hotel California topped the US Billboard Top LPs & Tapes chart.

It was the band's first album with guitarist Joe Walsh, who had replaced founding member Bernie Leadon, and the last to feature founding bassist Randy Meisner. Released on December 8, 1976, by Asylum Records, Hotel California was recorded by Bill Szymczyk at the Criteria and Record Plant studios between March and October 1976. The new single will officially impact radio on March 7.Hotel California is the fifth studio album by American rock band Eagles. It's his second single since being removed from nearly all radio and digital streaming playlists in the wake of being caught on camera using the N-word in early 2021. The song has already reached the top spot on the Billboard Hot Country Songs chart, debuting there after the release of his album. "Wasted on You" is Wallen’s fourth radio single from his Dangerous: The Double Album, which he released in January of 2021. Wallen then revealed that he and his co-writers wrote the song during quarantine in Wallen’s kitchen, "with bourbon." "I would say 'Wasted on You' is probably my favorite song I wrote on the record," Wallen told Ernest. In a December conversation with co-writer and artist Ernest on his podcast, Just Being Ernest, Wallen revealed that "Wasted on You" always felt special to him. Wallen’s powerful voice delivers the heart-rending lyrics amid a sonic landscape that features contrasting country and rap-influenced sounds. In the second verse, Wallen gets somewhat vulnerable, singing that he " swore this one’d be different," but his " heart wouldn’t listen." He eventually sings about watching his lost love pack up her car and leave. "Wasted on you / All of this time and all of this money / All of these sorrys I don't owe you honey / All of these miles on this Chevy and prayers in a pew / all them days I spent wasted on you," he sings in the chorus.
