"Whiskey on You" is a song by American country music singer Nate Smith. It was released on June 27, 2022 as the first single from his self-titled debut album (2023).
It became Smith's first song to peak atop the Billboard charts, topping the Country Airplay and Canada Country charts. It also became his first to chart on the Billboard Hot 100, peaking at number 43. Internationally, it peaked at number 36 on the UK Singles Sales Chart and number 5 on the ARIA Digital Track Chart, becoming his first song to chart overseas.
Smith attended a songwriting retreat with Lindsay Rimes and Russell Sutton in 2022. He recorded a demo of the song in the kitchen of music executive Jim Catino. Smith attempted to make a full version of the song in the studio, but after being unable to find a suitable recording there, he and Rimes decided to use the vocal track from the demo in the final recording.

The song also received a music video directed by Chris Ashlee, portraying the song's central theme of a breakup. [2]
