"Choices" is a country music song written by Mike Curtis and Billy Yates and sung by George Jones, released on his album The Cold Hard Truth on May 8, 1999. This album went Gold in 1999. A video was also made for this song. Jones won a Grammy for Best Male Country Vocal Performance for this song. This is Jones' very first album with the Asylum Records label.
The song was at the center of some controversy, when the Country Music Association invited Jones to perform it on the awards show, but required that he perform an abridged version. Jones refused and did not attend the show. Longtime friend and admirer Alan Jackson was so stunned and disappointed with the association's decision, that halfway through his performance during the show, he signaled to his band and played part of Jones' song in protest.
