Drinking Alone - Carrie Underwood - MP3 instrumental karaoke

Throughout its history, country music has produced more drinking-themed songs than perhaps any other musical genre. Whether in celebration or just to drink away one's sorrows, alcohol seems to be a constant source of inspiration for both established acts and aspiring artists alike. Carrie Underwood's "Drinking Alone" is a perfect example of this trope—narrated in the first person, the song revolves around two heartbroken strangers talking and drinking at a bar. It was released as the fourth single from her sixth studio full-length Cry Pretty (2018) and quickly climbed to Number 11 on the Billboard US Country Airplay chart, achieving Gold certification in the process. Written by Carrie Underwood with co-producer David Garcia and singer-songwriter Brett James, "Drinking Alone" has a stronger pop influence than her previous material and was signaled by critics as one of the strongest tracks on the album. Shortly after its release, Carrie Underwood performed the song at the 53rd Annual Country Music Association Awards.
