Keith Urban's "Blue Ain't Your Color," released on August 8, 2016, is a soulful country ballad that blends traditional country with blues influences. Written by Steven Lee Olsen, Hillary Lindsey, and Clint Lagerberg, and produced by Dann Huff and Urban, the song narrates the story of a man observing a woman in a bar, suggesting she deserves better than her current companion. It achieved significant commercial success, topping the Billboard Hot Country Songs chart for 12 consecutive weeks and reaching number one on the Country Airplay chart. The track also crossed over to mainstream audiences, peaking at number 24 on the Billboard Hot 100. Critically acclaimed, it earned nominations for Best Country Solo Performance and Best Country Song at the 59th Grammy Awards, and won both the CMA Award for Single of the Year and the American Music Award for Favorite Country Song in 2017. The accompanying black-and-white music video, directed by Carter Smith and featuring supermodel Amber Valletta, portrays a somber bar scene that complements the song's themes of loneliness and longing.
