"Here for a Good Time" is a song co-written and recorded by American country music singer George Strait. It was released in June 2011 as the 92nd single of his career, and the first single and title track from the album of the same name. He and his son, Bubba, co-wrote it with Dean Dillon, who has also co-written several of Strait's other hits.[2]
George used this as the lead song for the Here for a Good Time tour.
Billy Dukes of Taste of Country rated the song four stars out of five, saying that its "uptempo shuffle fits right in with what Strait has done musically over the last five years."[3]
