Commercial performance
"Seein' Red" reached number one on the Country Airplay chart in February 2017, making this Lynch's fourth consecutive number one on this chart.[3] The song has sold 213,000 copies in the US as of March 2017.[4] It was certified Gold by the RIAA on July 14, 2017 for 500,000 units in sales and streams.[5]
Music video
The music video was directed by Adam Rothlein and premiered on The Country Network, CMT, GAC and Vevo in November 2016. It is loosely based on the 2007 video for "The Pretender" by Foo Fighters, and features Lynch and his band playing in an all-white room in front of a big red screen. The screen shows black-and-white footage of a woman with red lips and red heels, made to look as if Lynch was imagining the scenes. Right as the last chorus hits, just like in the Foo Fighters video, the screen explodes right in the band's direction, and engulfs the band and Lynch in red powder. The video ends with Lynch and the band finishing the song messy, but unscathed. Scenes featuring Dustin and the woman making out in a bed were also filmed, but eventually cut from the final video.
