"Save It for a Rainy Day" is a song written by Andrew Dorff, Matthew Ramsey and Brad Tursi, and recorded by American country music artist Kenny Chesney. It was released in June 2015 as the fourth and final single from Chesney’s 2014 album The Big Revival.

Critical reception

The song received a positive review from Taste of Country, who wrote that "So many of the songs on The Big Revival recall memories of Chesney’s biggest hits without feeling like duplicates. Add “Save It for a Rainy Day” to the list. As he reaches for a fourth straight No. 1 it’s difficult to argue this isn’t his best album since Just Who I Am: Poets & Pirates."[1]
