Neon is the third studio album by American country music artist Chris Young. It was released on July 12, 2011, via RCA Records Nashville. Young co-wrote seven of the album's ten tracks. The album sold 72,830 copies its first week.
The album includes the singles "Tomorrow", "You", "Neon", and "I Can Take It from There".
Stephen Thomas Erlewine of AllMusic praised the album for being able to deliver tracks that straddle the line between country and country pop and allows Young to perform them with convincing delivery, concluding that "If Neon does anything, it proves that Young can manage this delicate balance all the while seeming like it's no trouble at all." Jonathan Keefe of Slant Magazine was mixed towards the album, saying that despite some interesting tracks and Young's vocal delivery, it consists of filler that lacks a viewpoint and could've been performed by anyone, calling it "committee-based songwriting at its worst." He concluding that "It's a shame, then, that most of the set finds Young fighting an uphill battle against some lackluster material."
