"Shotgun" is a song recorded by American singer Christina Aguilera. It was featured on episode "The Storm Has Just Begun" of the third season of Nashville.^[1] The song was released on April 21, 2015 as a promotional single for Nashville.^[2]

Background

Critical reception

"Shotgun" received mostly positive reviews from music critics. Ashley Cooke of Roughstock also gave the song three stars out of five. Cooke wrote: "This time we are faced with a ballad style mostly country, no other contamination; the song is very soft, the basic, stripped of elements, is characterized by the guitar that accompanies the entry of Christina, in this passage used with a low register and a vibe very sweet and emotional. Banished the usual cries that are a trademark of the Aguilera factory but that, perhaps, they are not so useful to give to the songs that something extra (just think of Say Something (A Great Big World song))".

Charts

"Shotgun" debuted at number 28 on the US Hot Country Songs, becoming Aguilera's first entry on the chart.^[3] It also debuted at number 14 on the Bubbling Under Hot 100,^[4] and it managed to sell 30,000 copies before it was taken down from iTunes that week.^[5]
