"Mama Don't Get Dressed Up For Nothing" is a song co-written and recorded by American country music duo Brooks & Dunn. It was released in September 1996 as the third single from their album Borderline, and their 18th single overall. The song received moderate success on the US Country chart, where it peaked at number 13, while it was a number 8 hit in Canada. It was the first single the duo released that missed the US country top 10, breaking a streak of 17 straight top 10 entries; the next eight singles Brooks and Dunn released after this would also make the country top 10. This is the fourth single to feature Kix Brooks on lead vocals instead of Ronnie Dunn. Kix and Ronnie wrote this song, along with Don Cook.
In 2019, Brooks & Dunn re-recorded "Mama Don't Get Dressed Up for Nothing" with American country music group LANCO for their album Reboot.
