Not Ready to Make Nice

"Not Ready to Make Nice" is a song co-written and performed by American country music trio The Chicks (formerly known as Dixie Chicks). It was released on March 20, 2006, as the first single from the band's seventh studio album, Taking the Long Way. The Chicks wrote the song in response to the backlash they experienced in 2003 after criticizing President George W. Bush.

"Not Ready to Make Nice" remains The Chicks' biggest hit in Canada. Though they have had bigger hits on the country charts, it is their only song to be certified 2× Platinum, reaching number four on the Hot 100. The song was written by Natalie Maines, Martie Maguire, Emily Robison, and Dan Wilson.

On February 11, 2007, it won three Grammy Awards in the categories of Record of the Year, Song of the Year, and Best Country Performance by a Duo or Group with Vocal. In 2009, Rolling Stone named "Not Ready to Make Nice" the 77th best song of the decade.
