About It Ain't My Fault

"It Ain't My Fault" is a song recorded by American country music duo Brothers Osborne. The song was released in January 2017 as the duo's fifth single overall. Duo members John and T.J. Osborne co-wrote the song with Lee Thomas Miller.

The duo wrote the song with Lee Thomas Miller in mid-2015. The song is about "a guy who doggedly, humorously refuses to own up to his own actions", as reflected in the title line. Miller came up with the opening lines about "a chain of events leading to an affair" while using a phone app that simulates drum patterns to create a drum pattern similar to the one used in "(I Can't Get No) Satisfaction". Billboard compared the "series of occurrences that create a cheatin’ scenario" to "Third Rock from the Sun" by Joe Diffie. The recording session featured Jay Joyce as producer, Jason Hall as engineer, along with John Osborne on lead guitar, Adam Box on drums, and Pete Sternberg on bass. John Osborne told Billboard that "We’ve all been there where we're drunk and stubborn, and we’re not willing to admit it. That’s really what the song’s about. Even the singer knows that it’s his fault." Lead singer T. J. Osborne sings the song in a primarily "darker frequency".
