1	* AudienceAlienatingEra: ''Golden'' and ''747'' both sold poorly and their singles largely under-performed on the charts, due to a combination of poor single choices and a forced attempt at shedding the "sleepy" sound of ''Golden''.
2	* CoveredUp:
3	** Eric Paslay, co-writer of the album cut "Friday Night" from ''Own the Night'', had a Top 5 hit in 2014 with his own version.
4	** "On a Night Like This," from the 2019 album ''Ocean,'' is a cover of Christian artist Dave Barnes' song from 2000. Barnes co-wrote "Be Patient with My Love" from that same album and also Lady A's 2021 single "Like a Lady."
5	* EpicRiff: The piano notes at the start of "Need You Now."
6	* SugarWiki/FunnyMoments: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BhTpdgoGtTA This parody]] of "[[Music/SamHunt Body Like a Back Road]]" which features Charles and Dave singing about wearing bathrobes on a bus.
7	* IAmNotShazam: Some people call Hillary Scott "Lady Antebellum".
8	* ItsTheSameNowItSucks: Some music critics have said this of ''Own the Night'', on which many of the songs have the same "epic" instrumentation as "Need You Now".
9	* OvershadowedByControversy: The band renaming themselves to "Lady A" in 2020 caused some to decry them for virtue signaling. It got worse when a black singer from Seattle named Anita White, who also recorded under the name Lady A, caught wind of this. The band initially intended to reach a compromise with White, but the two parties instead got entangled in lawsuits against each other, with White citing the band's white privilege and the destruction of her brand name in particular. (The two parties have since settled.) These incidents cast a shadow over ''What a Song Can Do'', causing it to be their worst-performing album to date.
10	* SignatureSong: "Need You Now".
11	* TearJerker: "Hello World". It makes you really want to appreciate life more...
12	** Also "Wanted You More". Bittersweet melody, good heartfelt vocals, and as for the lyrics? Ouch, heartbreaking...
13	** "Need You Now", of course. While it's basically just about "booty calls", it can be interpreted as a sad heartbreak song between two angry partners.
