"Sure Be Cool If You Did" is a song recorded by American country music artist Blake Shelton. It was released on January 8, 2013 as the first single from his seventh studio album, Based on a True Story….[2][3] The song was written by Rodney Clawson, Chris Tompkins and Jimmy Robbins.[4]

Critical reception

Billy Dukes of Taste of Country gave the song three stars out of five, calling it "comparatively ordinary next to catalog hits like 'She Wouldn't Be Gone' and the infectious 'Honey Bee'" and writing that "a break in the name of artistry would satisfy fans of his rowdier songs, while giving those who discovered him on TV something more nourishing to listen to."[5] Matt Bjorke of Roughstock gave the song three and a half stars out of five, saying that "the production of Scott Hendricks may not be as groundbreaking or as 'identifying' as say Jay Joyce or Joey Moi's productions are but the sound here is still likable - albeit a tad MOR."[6]

Music video

The music video was directed by Trey Fanjoy and premiered in February 2013.[7]
