"The Shape I'm In" is a song written by The Peach Pickers (Rhett Akins, Dallas Davidson and Ben Hayslip) and recorded by American country music singer Joe Nichols.

Co-writer Dallas Davidson told The Boot that the morning they wrote the song he was hungover and he had a napkin on his desk that had a girl's phone number on it.

Kyle Ward of Roughstock gave it four stars and thought that the lyrics are "somewhat understated, and but quite effective" and said that the sparse production really "elevates the song because "the "distraction is minimal"[2] Karlie Justus of Engine 145 gave it a thumbs-up, saying that the song has "loads of self-deprecating charm".

[3] Kevin John Coyne of Country Universe gave it an A, calling it a "classic country heartbreak theme, quite a few clever lines, and an altogether realistic account of a man begrudgingly coming to terms with the end of a relationship."

[4] The music video opens and closes with former US Navy Seal Marcus Luttrell talking to the camera and follows a couple of wounded US Army soldiers, Ivan Castro and Chad Fleming as they prepare for their day and a date.
