"Lonely Eyes" is a song written by Johnny Bulford, Jason Matthews and Laura Veltz and recorded by American country music artist Chris Young. It was released in August 2014 as the third single from Young’s 2013 album A.M.
This moderate-uptempo tune is about a guy who spots a beautiful girl in a bar and tries to get her attention.
Critical reception
Taste of Country reviewed the single favorably, saying that "He has a brand. More than one song from Young's catalog captures the thoughts and feelings of a man sitting on a bar stool, or a man sending a message to a beautiful woman he hopes will respond in the affirmative. 'Lonely Eyes' does both. Each line of the chorus is little more than three or four words strung together, but this hook ties together two very arresting verses."[1] In 2017, Billboard contributor Chuck Dauphin put "Lonely Eyes" at number four on his top 10 list of Young's best songs.[2]
Music video
The music video was directed by Adam Rothlein and premiered in December 2014.[3]
