"Aw Naw" is a song co-written recorded by American country music artist Chris Young. It was released in May 2013 as the first single from his fourth studio album, A.M., which was released on September 17, 2013. The song was written by Young, Chris DeStefano and Ashley Gorley.

The song received positive reviews from critics who praised Young's take on bro-country with strong production and tolerable lyrics. "Aw Naw" peaked at numbers 3 and 4 on the Billboard Country Airplay and Hot Country Songs charts respectively. It also charted at number 45 on Hot 100. It was certified Platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA). It received similar chart success in Canada, peaking at number 5 on the Country chart and number 50 on the Canadian Hot 100. The song was certified Gold by the Canadian Recording Industry Association (CRIA).

The accompanying music video for the song was directed by Chris Hicky and features Young hanging out at a bar behind the beverage door of a convenience store.

Billy Dukes of Taste of Country gave the song four and a half stars out of five, writing that "this country-rocker is a progressive, creative and well-written leap forward for the ultra-talented singer." Matt Bjorke of Roughstock gave the song a favorable review, calling it "a country song that sounds unlike the singer's previous catalog but not so different as to say he's chasing trends."

Kevin John Coyne of Country Universe gave the song a B- grade, saying that it is "a typical 2013 country party song that is easier to tolerate than most of the others because it's sung really well and at least sounds like it's been written and performed by people of legal drinking age." Jon Freeman of Country Weekly gave the song a C grade, writing that "you’ve heard this particular theme many times before and there’s nothing added to it here, but the earworm chorus is likely to generate spins on your favorite radio station."
