"Good Morning Gorgeous" is a song by American singer Mary J. Blige. It was written by Blige along with Lucky Daye, Tiara Thomas, Dernst "D'Mile" Emile II, and Gabriella "H.E.R." Wilson for her same-titled fourteenth studio album (2022), while production was helmed by Emile and Wilson. A downtempo R&B song, "Good Morning Gorgeous" has Blige singing an ode to loving one's self.^[1] A remix featuring additional vocals from H.E.R. was issued in March 2022.^[2]

The song was released by 300 Entertainment as the album's lead single on December 3, 2021 along with DJ Khaled-produced "Amazing." It reached number 33 on the US Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart and became Blige's seventh chart topper on the Adult R&B Songs chart, eventually reaching Gold status in the United States. At the 65th Annual Grammy Awards, "Good Morning Gorgeous" received three nominations, including Record of the Year, Best Traditional R&B Performance and Best R&B Song.

Critical reception

Eric Torres from Clash described "Good Morning Gorgeous" as a "torchy cut" and "quintessential Mary: an anthem of self-love to lift yourself out of the darkness, gilded with fingersnaps, leisurely guitar melodies, and dynamic backing vocals. The song recasts a personal low as a vulnerable, revitalizing pep talk to herself and thus everyone else."^[3] Variety critic A.D. Amorosi is the most devastating test of all: a hot-winded ambient whirr where the blues and gospel act as sand and silt. To this, an echo-affected Blige burrows deep into the dos and don’ts of the self’s rights and wrongs before coming up with a mirror’s daily affirmation, and a damn impactful plea for respect."^[4]
