"Baggage Claim" is a song co-written and recorded by American country music artist Miranda Lambert. It was released in August 2011 as the lead-off single from her album Four the Record. It was written by Lambert, with Natalie Hemby and Luke Laird.

Content

Its lyric is a play on the term "emotional baggage," comparing them to the baggage that an unfaithful man is picking up at an airport baggage claim.[2]

The song features a backing vocal from Josh Kelley.[3]

Reception

The song received mixed reviews from music critics. Bobby Peacock of Roughstock gave the song 4½ stars out of 5, calling it "an exercise in attitude done right." He praised the song's production and the "clever use of emotional "baggage" as a play on words for the baggage that her man's being sent off with."[4] Billy Dukes of Taste of Country gave it 2 out of 5 stars, finding fault in the song's use of baggage claim as a metaphor and unfavorably comparing the song to something Carrie Underwood might record.[5]

Music video

A live performance of "Baggage Claim" on the 2011 CMA Awards on 9 November 2011 served as the song's music video.
