What He Didn't Do

"What He Didn't Do" is a song recorded by American country music artist Carly Pearce. It was released on June 13, 2022 as the third and final single from her third studio album 29: Written in Stone.[1] Pearce co-wrote the song with Ashley Gorley and Emily Shackelton.

An acoustic version of the song was released on November 18, 2022.

Background

Pearce co-wrote the song with Gorley and Shackleton in late 2020, following her divorce from Michael Ray.[2] Upon Pearce first playing the song, it would pick up a large reception among fans.[3] It eventually became the third single from the album 29: Written in Stone, after radio stations had also inquired about it.[2]

Content

The song describes a breakup from a female perspective, listing off everything the male lover "didn't do" in the relationship, rather than detailing what he did to end it.[4]

Chart performance

Before the song's release as a single, it charted on Hot Country Songs at number 43.[5] Upon release, it would debut at number 53 on Country Airplay.[6] It peaked at number 2 on that chart, behind "Rock and a Hard Place" by Bailey Zimmerman. On March 27, 2023, it reached number one on the Aircheck/Mediabase chart, becoming the first woman in 80 weeks to top the country radio charts with a solo track.[7]
