Background[]

The song was written in an hour after a five-hour session in which Eldredge worked on a ballad, and was recorded out of a desire to be spontaneous and have fun.[1] Eldredge said of the song: "It made us write one of the craziest, out of nowhere fun songs I've ever written. I've never had so much fun recording."[1] His ad libs and laughter were left on the final recording.[1] Douglas and producer Ross Copperman also provided backing vocals.[3]

Commercial performance[]

"Somethin' I'm Good At" peaked at number 21 on the Billboard Country Airplay chart, making it Eldredge's first single to miss the top 10 since "It Ain't Gotta Be Love" in 2011. The song has sold 135,000 copies in the US as of July 2017.[4]

Music video[]

The music video for the song was directed by Ethan Lader and released on February 27, 2017.[5] It features Eldredge dressed in a suit setting off a chain of events as he walks down a street.[5]
