"The Bones" is a song recorded by American country music singer Maren Morris for her second studio album, Girl. Morris co-wrote the song with Jimmy Robbins and Laura Veltz, and it was produced by Greg Kurstin. "The Bones" was released digitally as a promotional single on February 22, 2019 and was later serviced to hot adult contemporary radio on May 20, 2019 as the album's second single.[2][3] A remix of the song with Irish singer Hozier was released on October 4, 2019.[4]

Critical reception

Jason Fontelieu praised the songwriting behind "The Bones" and in a review of its parent album wrote that "despite a clumsy midsection, Girl finishes strong with "The Bones" near the end of the album."[5] Mike Wass of Idolator wrote that the harmonies in the Hozier remix "elevates [the song] to a rawer, more emotional place."[6]

"The Bones" debuted at number 34 on the Billboard Hot Country Songs chart dated March 9, 2019, and later debuted at number 57 on the Billboard Country Airplay chart dated August 31, 2019 after its release to country radio.
