"Back of the Bottom Drawer" is a song co-written and recorded by American country artist Chely Wright.

Wright wrote the song with then-unknown songwriter Liz Rose, who would later become famous for co-writing much of Taylor Swift's early material.

The lyrics of the song were written from Wright's own experiences of saving mementos in small spaces—"I'm 33 years old, I’ve got a couple of champagne corks, and those are my stories, and I don't have to tell about it.

Deborah Evans Price of Billboard gave the song a favorable response, in her review of recent singles to Reach radio in 2004.

However, it had been announced in June of that same year that Wright had left the Vivaton label, citing "creative differences" with producer Jeff Huskins.
