"Slow Me Down" is a song written by Marv Green, Heather Morgan and Jimmy Robbins and recorded by American country music artist Sara Evans.
Evans debuted the new single during her annual fanclub party in June 2013,[1] and premiered the studio cut of the song exclusively through her official website following a campaign to unlock the audio stream.

"[6] However Taste of Country's Billy Dukes gave the song two-and-a-half stars out of five, praising its "big vocal showcase," while drawing criticisms of its lyrics and generic arrangement.
