The song was inspired by Josh, Amy's husband. It was supposed to be on The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe soundtrack, just like Lacrymosa and Together Again, but wasn't approved.
It was announced the fourth and final single from The Open Door. The video was recorded 11-14 June 2007 in Budapest, Hungary.
At first, Amy Lee did not intend for this song to be on The Open Door. In an Italian interview with Rock TV, she said that she thought the song was not Evanescence's style. She intended to keep it to herself, but after showing it to the band, they all liked it.
"I had gone through a lot of difficult things during the writing of the whole album, and by the end of it, I had stepped away from those bad situations. That's really hard. You have to be really brave and strong about it. After doing that, I felt so amazing. For the first time I felt like I could write a song based on how good I felt. I have never done that before ever, " she explained in an interview with VH1.
Good Enough was used as both the intro and outro music for the CSI seventh season episode, Fallen Idols.
Good Enough
Evanescence Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I can't say no to you
Crave my heart and it's bleeding in your hand
I can't say no to you
Shouldn't let you torture me so sweetly
Now I can't let go of this dream
I can't breathe but I feel
Good enough
I feel good enough
For you
Drink up sweet decadence
I can't say no to you
And I've completely lost myself and I don't mind
I can't say no to you
Shouldn't let you conquer me completely
Now I can't let go of this dream
Can't believe that I feel
Good enough
I feel good enough
It's been such a long time coming
But I feel good
And I'm still waiting for the rain to fall
Pour real life down on me
'Cause I can't hold on
To anything this good enough
Am I good enough
For you to love me too?
So take care what you ask of me
'Cause I can't say no
The lyrics to Evanescence's song Good Enough speaks about being under someone’s spell that they can't resist, even though it hurts them. The singer finds herself continuously drawn to this person, even though they torture and take advantage of her emotions. She knows that she should let go and move on from the relationship, but she can't seem to do it, as she craves their love and affection. The song depicts the singer's journey of finally realizing that she is "good enough" even if the person she loves doesn't see her worth, and she is still waiting for the rain to fall and pour some reality in her life.
The lyrics describe the intense emotions of love and its power to control individuals to the extent that they lose themselves. It showcases the pain, grief, and emotional turmoil that come when individuals can't let go of toxic relationships that they know are not right for them. Moreover, the song highlights the struggle to find self-worth, the journey to self-discovery to overcome difficult situations.

I don't know about the rest of my fellow millennials but her voice makes me feel like I'm still 17, locked in my room because nobody understand me but Evanescence always will. I'm 36 now and their music, her voice, is like comfort music. We're not the "freaks", everyone else is.

Don't ever call our age group millennials. That's a complete insult.
