"Home Alone Tonight" is a song recorded by American country music artist Luke Bryan as a duet with Karen Fairchild of American country music group Little Big Town for his fifth studio album, Kill the Lights (2015). Upon the release of the album, the song entered the Billboard Hot Country Songs chart at number 33 on the strength of digital downloads. It was serviced to American country radio on November 23, 2015 as the album's third official single.[1]

Live performances

Bryan and Fairchild performed the song live at the 2015 American Music Awards.[2]

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.[3]

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.[3]

Commercial performance

The song first debuted at No. 33 on Billboard Hot Country Songs on chart dated August 29, 2015, the week the album was released, selling 13,000 copies in its first week.[4] It entered the Country Airplay chart at No. 55 on November 14, 2015 in anticipation of its official release. After Bryan and Fairchild performed the song on the 2015 American Music Awards, it entered Billboard Hot 100 at No. 97 on chart date of December 12, 2015, selling 16,000 copies.[5] It became Bryan's thirteenth consecutive (and fifteenth overall) No. 1 country single on the Country Airplay chart dated February 13, 2016. The song has sold 441,000 copies in the US as of April 2016.[6]
