"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 his fourth studio album, A.M.
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."
The music video was directed by Adam Rothlein and premiered in December 2014.
It entered the Country Airplay chart on August 30, 2014; it debuted on the Billboard Hot 100 at No. 95 on January 3, 2015 and reached No. 70 on February 14, 2015. The song was certified Gold on April 17, 2015 by the RIAA. It had sold 470,000 copies in the US as of April 2015.
