Livin' it Up is the 10th studio album by American country singer George Strait, released in 1990 on MCA Records. It has been certified platinum by the RIAA. The Tracks "Drinking Champagne", "Love Without End, Amen", and "I've Come to Expect It From You" were all released as singles; "Drinking Champagne" was a #4 hit on the Hot Country Songs charts, while the other two singles were both Number One hits. "She Loves Me (She Don't Love You)" was written and originally recorded by Conway Twitty, and was later recorded on Gary Allan's 1998 album It Would Be You.

"Lonesome Rodeo Cowboy" was first recorded by Strait and The Ace in the Hole Band in the 1970s and was the B-side to "(That Don't Change) The Way I Feel About You", the latter of which is included on Strait Out of the Box.
