"Rated "X"" is a 1972 single written and recorded by Loretta Lynn. "Rated 'X'" was Lynn's sixth number one country single as a solo artist. The single spent one week at number one and a total of fourteen weeks on the chart.[1] The song dealt with the stigma faced by divorced women during the early 1970s, and was regarded as somewhat controversial at the time, due to its frank language.
In 2001, a live cover version was used as the B-side of the "Hotel Yorba" single by The White Stripes.
The song was covered by Neko Case on her 2004 live album The Tigers Have Spoken.
