If You Can't Be Good (Be Good at It)

It was released in October 1997 as the first single from the album Be Good at It. The song reached #22 on the Billboard Hot Country Singles & Tracks chart.

Critical reception

A review in Billboard noted that the production of Kyle Lehning gave the song a "different feel sonically" from McCoy's previous releases, but added that "it's still the personality in McCoy's voice that sells this type of tune."
