Some songs never grow old—they only get better over time. Check Yes or No by George Strait is one of those timeless songs: a sweet country love story told in crisp vocals, heartfelt words, and complete nostalgia. This song still resonates decades later, showing why Strait is still the King of Country.
Check Yes or No carries you right back to innocence of childhood—where love was as easy as writing a memo in class—from the first note. From a playground crush to a permanent affair, the words narrate the story of young love that passes the test of time. George Strait’s trademark warm voice helps him to paint a picture incredibly vivid you can practically see the playground, hear the bell ring, and sense the initial spark of love.

This is excellent country music; a testament to the importance of storytelling in music. It is straightforward, sincere, and absolutely ageless. The words are full of charm, the tune is laid back, plus George Strait’s unforced delivery makes it nearly impossible not to sing along.
And should this song remind you of something, you have to listen to another Strait standard: “Carrying Your Love with Me.” Delivered with Strait’s distinct Texas twang, it conveys the same sincere appeal, narrating a narrative of love, separation, and sacrifice.
