Background and reception

"Your Good Girl's Gonna Go Bad" was first recorded in January 1967 in the Columbia Recording Studio in Nashville, Tennessee. Seven additional tracks were recorded during this session, which would ultimately become part of Wynette's debut studio album. The session was produced by Billy Sherrill and the song was issued as Wynette's second single in February.

The song has been identified as one of Wynette's signature hit singles. Taste of Country named it one of their "Top 10 Tammy Wynette Songs" on their 2018 list, calling the song "strong feminine lyrics".[1]

The song reached number 3 on the Billboard Hot Country Singles chart in 1967. It became Wynette's breakthrough hit as a recording artist and was released on her debut studio of the same name.[2]

A cover version by Billie Jo Spears, from her 1981 studio album Only the Hits, reached number 13 on the Billboard Hot Country Singles chart in 1981.[2]
