4. One interesting feature of "Good Life" is that a small part of the song may be different depending on which U.S. radio station is playing it. Why is this?

From Quiz "Good Life" by OneRepublic

Answer: The band recorded multiple versions with different city/state names in one of the lines.

When I first heard the song when it was released as a single in the U.S. in 2010 I heard the line "My friends in Colorado they don't know". A few years later when I had moved to Osceola County in Central Florida "Good Life" was on the radio and the same line was "My friends in Orlando they don't know". I thought that possibly the radio station itself was adding local flair to the song but sure enough when I looked it up I found out that OneRepublic had recorded multiple versions of this line to appeal to different U.S. markets.
