Interesting facts and trivia about Tonight Looks Good on You. By Songfacts®.

This song was penned by Dallas Davidson, Rhett Akins and Ashley Gorley. Though Jason Aldean and Dallas Davidson have been friends for a long time, this is the first time the songwriter has had a cut on one of the Macon, Georgia native's records. "He came out to a show, and was playing some songs," Aldean told Billboard magazine. "He played this, and I knew it was a hit right from the get-go."

The song finds Aldean singing about a man who is madly in love with his girl and he can't help complimenting her. You ain't got a dress that I don't like You ain't got a pair of jeans that don't fit you just right There's not a minute in the day that you don't knock me out, that you don't blow me away. Aldean told Billboard: "I heard Lionel Richie say one time that one thing that never goes out of style when you're writing songs is people falling in love and out of love. Those songs are always going to work no matter what." Aldean added that he and producer Michael Knox try to pick those songs very carefully. "To me, it's a fine line of trying to find songs that aren't too soft in what it says," he said. "We don't quote a lot of 'love song' kind of things, but when we do, the melody is always really cool, and the way it's worded isn't really sappy."

The music video was directed by Mason Dixon and features Aldean playing a working man who offers to finish a job so his colleague can meet his date. The country star said it was easy for him to return to his blue-collar days, when he worked a regular job, when filming the clip. "It definitely wasn't hard for me to go back to my clock-punching days," he told CMT. "It wasn't that long ago that I was a Pepsi delivery guy, racing the clock, hoping to get home before sundown. So it was easy to put myself back in those shoes and kinda cheer for the guy who works his ass off to get home to his girl."
