Sitting Pretty on Top of the World is the third studio album by American country music singer Lauren Alaina. It was released in September 2021 via Mercury Records Nashville.
The album consists of fifteen songs, fourteen of which Alaina co-wrote. Two singles, "Getting Good" and the Jon Pardi duet "Getting Over Him", were released prior to the album. Both of these appeared on extended plays prior to the album's release; on Sitting Pretty on Top of the World, "Getting Good" was remixed as a duet with Trisha Yearwood. Paul DiGiovanni and David Garcia produced the album. [2]
Stephen Thomas Erlewine of AllMusic rated the album three stars out of five, stating that "as a collection of individual tracks, Sitting Pretty on Top of the World hits its target squarely in the middle of the road: it's adult contemporary country where Alaina feels equally at home on the light pop tunes and melodramatic showstoppers."
