Today (Gary Allan song)

"Today" is a song written by Brice Long and Tommy Lee James, and recorded by American country music artist Gary Allan.

"[3] Leeann Ward of Country Universe gave the song a C+ rating, and said in her review of the song: "With a moody piano to serve as the foundation for the swelling strings and over all dramatic angst, Allan sings of the pain of loosing [sic] his former lover to another man", but added, "it is severely weakened by a disappointingly generic, overblown production.

"[4] Engine 145 critic Juli Thanki gave the song a thumbs-up; while her review describes the production as "slick" and "boring", she also says, "Luckily Allan’s beautiful rasp rises above these shortcomings as he manages to simultaneously sound brokenhearted, regretful, and maybe just a little pissed off.

"[5] Matt Bjorke of Roughstock also gave a favorable review, saying "it is nice to hear a smoldering ballad of regret from one of the best vocalists in modern country music", although he added that he did not consider the song's theme original.

Billboard Hot Country Songs chart on July 4, 2009, and peaked at number 18 in February 2010.
