"As If" is a song recorded by American country music artist Sara Evans for her 2007 Greatest Hits compilation album. Written by Evans, Hillary Lindsey, and John Shanks and produced by the latter, it was released on June 25, 2007 as the lead single from the compilation. It became her 12th top-20 hit, peaking at number 11 on the US Hot Country Songs chart. On Mediabase's Country Aircheck chart, the song reached number ten.
"As If" is a moderate up-tempo song co-written by Sara Evans with Hillary Lindsey and John Shanks, backed primarily with percussion and electric guitar. The narrator describes being in love, hoping that no matter what, the feelings she shares for her man will never fade. In the end they eventually do, but she's acting "as if" they will not.
Critical reception
Kevin J. Coyne of Country Universe gave the song an A rating. "It’s no surprise to me that it’s a charming record, perfectly produced and expertly sung. And, as usual, it’s just offbeat enough to be genuinely different from anything else on the radio."[2]
