Keith Urban – Blue Ain’t Your Color

“Blue Ain’t Your Color” is a song recorded by country music singer Keith Urban and written by Steven Lee Olsen, Hillary Lindsey, and Clint Lagerberg. It was released on 8 August 2016 as the fourth single from Urban’s 2016 album Ripcord.

The music video premiered in September 2016. Directed by fashion photographer Carter Smith, the stylized black-and-white video stars supermodel and actress Amber Valletta, who portrays a brokenhearted woman in an empty bar. Throughout the clip, Urban and his band perform the song on the bar’s tiny stage. However at the end of the visual we see Valletta’s character on her own, giving the impression the music was just in her head the whole time.

Amber Valletta has been a successful model since landing her first American Vogue cover in 1992. She has also appeared in television shows such as ABC’s Blood & Oil, and movie Hitch, The Spy Next Door.

Keith Urban’s favorite bit of the video is the ending. “The camera pans around and suddenly the stage is bare and you’re not quite sure if she’s imagined the whole thing,” he explained. “There’s something really poetic about that.”

The song topped the Country chart, marking Urban’s 16th #1 on the listing.
This won Single of the Year at the 2017 CMA Awards.

I can see you over there
Staring at your drink
Watchin’ that ice sink
All alone tonight

And chances are
You’re sittin’ here in this bar
‘Cause he ain’t gonna treat you right
Well, it’s probably not my place
But I’m gonna say it anyway
‘Cause you look like
You haven’t felt the fire
Had a little fun
Hadn’t had a smile in a little while
Baby

Blue looks good on the sky
Looks good on that neon buzzin’ on the wall
But darling, it don’t match your eyes
I’m tellin’ you
You don’t need that guy
It’s so black and white
He’s stealin’ your thunder
Baby, blue ain’t your color
