"Lady Down on Love" is a song written by Randy Owen, and recorded by American country music band Alabama. It was released in August 1983 as the third and final single from Alabama's album "The Closer You Get." It reached Number 1 on the U.S. Hot Country Chart.

Songwriter Randy Owen recalled to country music journalist Tom Roland that the idea for the song came about when, during a performance at a hotel nightclub in Bowling Green, Kentucky, he learned that a group of women were celebrating a friend's divorce with a night out on the town. However, the divorcée was not having a good time, because she was mourning the end of her marriage and thinking about what should have been – that she should be at home with her husband.

This refrain recalls Owen's interaction with the woman in the nightclub ("She's got her freedom, but she'd rather be bound/To a man that would love her and never let her down")
