"Gettin' You Home (The Black Dress Song)" is a song co-written and recorded by American country music singer Chris Young. It was released in February 2009 as the second single from his 2009 album The Man I Want to Be (2009). Young wrote the song with Kent Blazy and Cory Batten. The song garnered positive reviews from critics who praised the suggestive lyrics for sounding sexy and for being a great non-sellout single.

"Gettin' You Home" became the first of Young's five consecutive number one hits on the U.S. Billboard Hot Country Songs chart. It also became his first Top 40 hit on the Billboard Hot 100 at number 33, and it peaked at number 74 on the Canadian Hot 100. The song was certified Platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America, and has sold 932,000 copies in the United States as of November 2015.[2] It was nominated for a Grammy Award for Best Male Country Vocal Performance.

The accompanying music video was directed by Stephen Shepherd.
