"Gaslighter" is a song recorded by American country music group Dixie Chicks from their eighth studio album of the same name. The song was written and produced by the group and Jack Antonoff.[1][2] "Gaslighter" was the final release by the group before changing their name to "The Chicks" in June 2020.
Composition
The title of the song refers to gaslighting.[3] The song has been described as an "empowering",[4] "fiery",[1] and "scathing" anthem.[5]
Critical reception
Pitchfork awarded "Gaslighter" their "Best New Track" distinction, with Sam Sodomsky writing that it "merges the open-road optimism of their early records with the sharper power-pop" of their previous album many years earlier, Taking the Long Way.[6]
Music video
The song's music video was directed by Seanne Farmer,[1] and has been described as "a throwback to old school political propaganda".[7]
