"Powerful Thing" is a song written by Al Anderson and Sharon Vaughn, and recorded by American country music artist Trisha Yearwood. It was released in November 1998 as the third single from her album Where Your Road Leads. The song reached number 6 on the Billboard Hot Country Singles & Tracks chart in March 1999[1] and number 1 on the RPM Country Tracks chart in Canada.[2]

Critical reception[edit]

Deborah Evans Price, of Billboard magazine reviewed the song favorably, calling it "perky and playful." She goes on to say that while the lyric is "slightly clichéd", the song makes up for it because of her "incredible voice and tons of personality."[3]

"Powerful" debuted at number seventy on the U.S. Billboard Hot Country Singles & Tracks for the week of November 28, 1998.
