Megan Nicole & Alex Goot Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

woke up in london yesterday
found myself in a city near piccadilly
don't really know how i got here
i got some pictures on my phone
new names and numbers i don't know
address to places like abbey road
day turns to night
night turns to whatever we want
we're young enough to say
oh this has gotta be the good life
this has gotta be the good life
this could really be the good life, good life
say oh, got this feeling that u can't fight
like this city is on fire tonight
this could really be a good life
a good, good life
to my friends in new york i say hello
my friends in LA they don't know where i've been for the past few years or so
from paris to china to colorado
sometimes theres airplanes i can't jump out
sometimes theres bullshit that don't work
now we all got our stories but please tell
me what there is to complain about
when you're happy liek a fool
let it take u over
when everytihing is out
u gotta take it in
oh this has gotta be the good life
this has gotta be the good life
this could really be a good life, good life
say oh
got this feeling that u cant fight
like this city is on fire tonight
this could really be a good life
a good, good life
a good good life
to my friends in new york
i say hello
my friends in LA they don't know
where i've been the past few years or so
from paris to china to colorado
sometimes there's airplanes i can't jump out
sometimes theres things that just dont work out
we all got our stories




but please tell me
what there is to complain about

Overall Meaning

The song "Good Life" by Megan Nicole and Alex Goot is a celebration of living life to the fullest and embracing new experiences. The song describes the excitement of waking up in a new city, with "new names and numbers" and "pictures on my phone." Despite not knowing how they got there or what the future holds, the singers embrace the moment, feeling young and free. They acknowledge that life can be difficult at times, with "bullshit that don't work" and "airplanes I can't jump out," but overall they choose to focus on the good and happy moments.


The chorus repeats the sentiment that "this has gotta be the good life" and expresses the feeling that the current moment could truly be a "good, good life." The bridge of the song addresses the singers' friends in different parts of the world, acknowledging that they have been on their own journeys and may not know where the singers have been. However, the message remains the same: let go of complaining and embrace the good in life.


The song encourages listeners to appreciate every moment and to not let the challenges of life hold them back. It reminds them that life can be full of adventure and new experiences if they choose to embrace them.
