"Pain Killer" is a song recorded by American country music group Little Big Town for their sixth studio album of the same name (2014). It was written by group members Karen Fairchild and Jimi Westbrook along with Blair Daly and Hillary Lindsey, with Fairchild being featured on lead vocals. The song was serviced to American country radio on August 24, 2015 as the album's third official single.[1]
"Pain Killer" is a mid-tempo reggae-influenced[2][3] country song about using loved ones, rather than drugs or alcohol, to get through difficult times. Group member Karen Fairchild performs lead vocals on the song, as on previous Pain Killer singles "Day Drinking" and "Girl Crush".[4]
Critical reception
An uncredited review for Taste of Country praised the song as "a credit to strong songwriting and a strong bond between the four bandmates."[4]
