"Chill Factor" is a song written and recorded by American country music artist Merle Haggard backed by The Strangers. It was released in March 1988 as the second single and title track from the album Chill Factor. The song reached number 9 on the Billboard Hot Country Singles & Tracks chart.[1]
Spin called the song, "a bleak, stark account of love gone cold. While acknowledging his encroaching age, he's also taking stock of what the years have taught him."[2]
