"Today" is a song written by Brice Long and Tommy Lee James, and recorded by American country music artist Gary Allan. It was released in June 2009 as the first single from his 2010 album Get Off on the Pain. The song reached number 18 on the U.S. Billboard Hot Country Songs chart in early 2010.
The song's narrator claims that he lost his lover and everything that he ever wanted "today" when he sees his former lover marrying another man:[2]
During the week of October 19, Allan talked about the single on Jeff Foxworthy's Foxworthy Countdown: "It’s one of those songs that you missed it with that girl, that’s the girl you always thought you should have (been) with and you let her slip through your fingers and now she is happy as hell and doesn’t think about you ever[…]And we’ve all got one of those girls in our past!"[3]
