Consider Me Gone

This was the second single to be taken from Keep on Loving You, Reba McEntire's first recording for the Valory Music Group and her twenty-sixth studio album in total.

McEntire discussed this song with Great American Country: "It's a strong woman song. I'm sure there are tons of women who get the cold shoulder when the husband comes in from work. He's had a rough day and she's had three kids at home, especially if it's summer. He doesn't want to talk, something's going on and it's confrontation time. If you are giving me the cold shoulder, if you're not wanting to talk to me, and if things aren't getting any better and if I don't turn you on, consider me gone. Here's the way the cow eats the cabbage. It's like, let's poop or get off the pot. Tell it like it is. It's a pretty cool song and it's confrontation time. That is one thing that is wrong with relationships, that there's not enough communication."

This was McEntire's 34th country chart-topper of her illustrious career. Its reign at the top of the charts expanded Reba's run of #1 hits to 26 years. Her first song to reach peak position was "Can't Even Get the Blues" in January 1983.
