"Rated "X"" is a 1972 single written and recorded by Loretta Lynn. "Rated "X"" was Lynn's sixth number one country single as a solo artist. The single spent one week at number one and a total of fourteen weeks on the chart.[1] The song dealt with the stigma faced by divorced women during the early 1970s, and was regarded as somewhat controversial at the time, due to its frank language.
