"Sober Saturday Night" is a song recorded by American country singer Chris Young featuring American country singer and multi-instrumentalist Vince Gill for Young's fifth studio album, I'm Comin' Over (2015). It was released to radio June 6, 2016 as the album's third single.[1] Young co-wrote the track with The Warren Brothers and assisted Corey Crowder with production.
Critical reception[edit]
The staff of Taste of Country described the song as both a "vocal showcase" and a "personal performance." The blog also noted that the contrast between the two vocalists' tones "makes the unlikely pair a compelling listen."[2]
Music video[edit]
A lyric video for the song was posted to Young's Vevo channel on November 6, 2015 during the lead-up to the album's release.[3] The official music video was directed by David Poag and premiered July 14, 2016.[4] Similar to the story told by the lyrics, the video depicts a man who appears to be recovering from a hangover but who is actually "adapting to a new normal" without the influence of alcohol, with the bar scenes implied to be flashbacks to the man's troubled past.[4]
