"Mean to Me"
Song

"Mean to Me" is a song recorded by American country music artist Brett Eldredge. It was released in July 2014 as his fifth single and the fourth single from his debut album, Bring You Back.

The song has sold 477,000 copies in the US as of April 2015.[1]

Critical reception

Website Taste of Country gave the song a positive review, saying that "In a way, ‘Mean to Me’ is Eldredge’s answer to a test brought to him after two successful, but sonically similar songs. He needed to go in a different direction or risk boring his fans, and he did. This beautiful ballad makes him all the more interesting."[2]

Music video

The music video was directed by Shane Drake and premiered in September 2014.[3]
