Reality (Kenny Chesney song)

"Reality" is a song co-written and recorded by American country music artist Kenny Chesney.

Co-written by Chesney with help from Brett James, he told Billboard magazine's Ray Waddell that he got the idea of writing the song while sitting in a dentist's chair with a gas mask on.

That's where I got the idea to write the song, it's my message to the fans that it's OK to break free and escape reality, with us.

"[2] Billy Dukes of Taste of Country gave the song three stars out of five, saying that it "does and says all the right things" but "[fails] to capture the live energy that Chesney consistently inserted into uptempo hits in the past.

"[3] Kevin John Coyne of Country Universe gave the song a B grade, saying that while it has a "strong concept", the delivery is "fairly flat."
