"Sangria" is a song recorded by American country music artist Blake Shelton. It was released to country radio on April 6, 2015 as the third single from his ninth studio album Bringing Back the Sunshine. The song was written by J. T. Harding, Josh Osborne and Trevor Rosen.[1]

Critical reception

Giving it an "A", Tammy Ragusa of Country Weekly wrote that "With a subtle and appropriately Spanish flavor, reminiscent of Tracy Byrd's 'Just Let Me Be in Love', this cha-cha is super-sexy, thanks in large part to a suggestive lyric."[2]

Commercial performance

The single peaked at number one on the Country Airplay chart on July 11, 2015, and it is Shelton's twentieth No. 1 hit on the chart, and his fifteenth consecutive single to achieve the feat, which is unmatched by other artists.[3] It also peaked at number 38 on the Billboard Hot 100 the same week. The song was certified Gold by the RIAA on June 25, 2015.[4] The song has sold 846,000 copies in the US as of May 2016.[5]

Music video

The music video was directed by Trey Fanjoy and premiered in March 2015.[6]
