"Snapback" is a song by American country music group Old Dominion. It was released on January 11, 2016 as the second single from their debut studio album, Meat and Candy (2015). "Snapback" peaked at numbers 2 and 4 on both the Billboard Country Airplay and Hot Country Songs charts respectively. It also reached the top 50 on the Hot 100 chart. The song was certified Gold by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA), and has sold 413,570 copies in the United States as of July 2016. It received similar chart success in Canada, giving the band their second number-one hit on the Canada Country chart and reaching number 68 on the Canadian Hot 100 chart. It also garnered a Platinum certification from Music Canada, denoting sales of 80,000 units in that country. The accompanying music video for the song was directed by Steve Condon and features the band in Los Angeles performing at a skate park and a house party.

Billy Dukes of Taste of Country reviewed the single favorably, writing that "He could be talking to some beauty he’s met previously, but it’s more fun to imagine him swaggering up to a cutie at the bar. Beyond Ramsey’s cheeky open, the song is marked by tight phrasing, sneaky high harmonies and sharp lyrics. Every rhyme snaps into place with satisfaction. Credit the songwriters, but also give a nod to producer Shane McAnally for creating a fresh sound that fits this group’s personality."

The song reached No. 4 on Hot Country Songs for chart dated May 7, 2016, and peaked at No. 2 on Country Airplay on June 4, 2016. The song has sold 413,570 copies in the US as of July 2016.

The music video was directed by Steve Condon and premiered in February 2016. The video features the band in Los Angeles performing at a skate park while surrounded by skateboarders performing tricks, and later moves to a house party where lead singer Matthew Ramsey sings the song with a girl sporting a backwards cap. The girl is played by pro skateboarder Letícia Bufoni.
