"You Look Good" is a song by American country music group Lady Antebellum and serves as the first single from the group's seventh studio album, Heart Break (2017). It was released on January 19, 2017 through Capitol Records Nashville and impacted American country radio on January 23. The song was written by Kennedy Kelley, Hillary Lindsey, Ryan Hurd, and its producer, busbee.
In 2015, Lady Antebellum began experiencing declining success with the singles released from their sixth studio album, 747 (2014), which the band attributes to a "fatigue" amongst fans and radio programmers. After the completion of their accompanying Wheels Up Tour, the group announced a short hiatus from recording or touring. During this time, the members all worked on individual projects – Charles Kelley and Hillary Scott on their solo debuts The Driver and Love Remains, respectively, and Dave Haywood on the production of Post Monroe's debut EP. When the group returned to work on their next album, they spent a month in Los Angeles, California and recruited pop producer busbee to oversee the project.
"You Look Good" was reportedly on hold for Thomas Rhett before being picked up and recorded by Lady Antebellum. The song was released January 19, 2017. "You Look Good" serves as the group's first new release since 2014 following their hiatus.
"You Look Good" is primarily a country pop song with influences of funk,jazz, and soul. The song incorporates a "brassy" horn section, a career first for the group. Billy Dukes of Taste of Country noted that "You Look Good" is the group's third consecutive lead single to "[stretch] the perception of who they are."
