A Hangover You Don't Deserve is the fifth studio album by American rock band Bowling for Soup.

The album's name came from lead guitarist Chris Burney, who was also the name inspiration for the band's previous effort, Drunk Enough to Dance.

Upon hearing the song, Reddick felt the subject matter didn't meet the band's criteria, so he asked SR-71 frontman Mitch Allan if he could make changes to the song, to which Allan said yes.

[2] Johnny Loftus, writing for AllMusic, praised the catchability of the first three tracks and Jaret Reddick's songwriting on songs like "Ohio (Come Back to Texas)", but was critical of the album containing typical pop punk production ("stuff like piano breaks, compressed vocals, and steppe farm chorus guitars") that made the band sound too close to similar bands like Goldfinger and Lit, saying that "most of the time it's very hard to hear Bowling for Soup around Hangover's radio and video-ready sheen.

"[3] Entertainment Weekly writer Brian Hiatt felt that tracks like "1985" were not enough to sustain a whole album, saying that, "Like a lower-SATs version of Fountains of Wayne, the Texas quartet tries to write silly/clever lyrics to go atop their high-carb pop melodies.
