# Home Alone Tonight

It was serviced to American country radio on November 23, 2015 as the album's third official single. The song was written by Jody Stevens, Cole Taylor, Jaida Dreyer and Tommy Cecil.

## Live performances

Bryan and Fairchild performed the song live at the 2015 American Music Awards.

## Content

The song is a mid-tempo ballad in which a man and woman meet in a bar and plot revenge on their former lovers together.

## Critical reception

An uncredited review from Taste of Country was favorable, stating that it "features more progressive production than 'Strip It Down,' but isn’t quite as edgy as 'Kick the Dust Up.' One would hardly call the arrangement organic, but that fits the mood. The two spontaneous lovers promise they won’t regret what’s to come, even though both know it’s not true. It’s an inevitability that many will relate to."
