"Look It Up" is a song written by Robert Ellis Orrall and Angaleena Presley, and originally recorded by Australian country music artist Jasmine Rae in 2008.[2] It was later recorded by American country music artist Ashton Shepherd, whose version was released in January 2011 as the lead single to her second studio album, Where Country Grows.
"Look It Up" is a moderate up-tempo country song. The song's female narrator expresses her dissatisfaction with being done wrong by her man who has been seeing another woman. She tells him multiple words dealing with his wrongdoing (such as 'liar,' 'forgiveness,' and 'faithful') and suggests he "look [them] up."
Shepherd described it as, "a song about somebody who is officially done with something to the point that they are really over it. It's almost like they aren't that mad anymore, just ready to be through with it, just done. 'Done' is a good word."[3]
Critical reception
Stephen M. Deusner of Engine 145 gave the song a thumbs up, favorably describing the lyrics as "clever" and complimenting Shepherd's "intense twang."[4] Kevin John Coyne of Country Universe gave it a C rating, calling the song "outdated." He also stated that while "Ashton Shepherd is bringing country back to country, [...] a dull vocal isn’t improved by exaggerated twang. It just sounds forced."[5]
