"Beautiful Mess" is a song written by Shane Minor, Clay Mills and Exile bassist Sonny LeMaire, and recorded by American country music group Diamond Rio.

The song was also Diamond Rio's most successful crossover single, peaking at number 28 on the US Billboard Hot 100.

- Dana Williams, bassist[3] Chuck Taylor, of Billboard magazine reviewed the song favorably saying that "reverb-drenched guitar, a smoldering melody, and the barely contained pathos in the vocal highlight this next slice of excellence."

One week later, it fell to the number two position with Tracy Byrd's "Ten Rounds with Jose Cuervo" overtaking it at the top.

"Beautiful Mess" then returned to the number one spot on the chart dated for October 12, accounting for a second and final week in that peak.
