"Gettin' You Home (The Black Dress Song)" is a song co-written and recorded by American country music singer Chris Young. It was released in February 2009 as the second single from his album The Man I Want to Be (2009), released on September 1, 2009. Young wrote the song with Kent Blazy and Cory Batten. The song garnered positive reviews from critics who praised the suggestive lyrics for sounding sexy and for being a great non-sellout single.

"Gettin' You Home" would become the first of five consecutive number-one hits for Young on the Billboard Hot Country Songs chart. It also became his first top 40 hit on the Hot 100 at number 33 and peaked at number 74 on the Canadian Hot 100. The song was certified Platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America, and has sold 932,000 copies in the United States as of November 2015. It was nominated for a Grammy Award for Best Male Country Vocal Performance.

The accompanying music video was directed by Stephen Shepherd.

Songwriter Cory Batten suggested the lyric "all I can think about is gettin' you home" to his frequent songwriting partner Kent Blazy, who has written several songs for Garth Brooks. The two later met with Young and began working on other songwriting ideas. After a morning of little progress, the group decided to go to lunch. Once they had returned, the three friends began talking about their experiences with women. When Young elaborated on his own relationship, they decided to write a song about a woman who, despite getting dressed up for going out on a date, is "just as excited to get home" and have sex. According to Young, "Gettin' You Home" was written in "about 45 minutes".

Karlie Justus of Engine 145 gave "Gettin' You Home" a thumbs-up. She described the song as "pleasingly radio-friendly without feeling like a sell-out, and it should catapult Young into the very small club of successful country reality competition winners." Kevin J. Coyne of Country Universe gave the song an A- rating. His review called it "suggestive without being sleazy." In his review of the album, Matt Bjorke of Roughstock said that the song "is sultry and sexy without ever feeling like it’s pandering to anybody. Also, despite the R&B grooves in the mix, the song is nothing but country."
