The song "The Good Life" is an upbeat, catchy tune that urges listeners to indulge in a life of luxury and extravagance. The lyrics encourage the listener to chase their desires, to live in the moment, and indulge in all the pleasures life has to offer. Miley starts the song by telling the listener what they need to know in order to get where they want to go. She then tells them they should never miss out, that they should run the place, and when they find their style, every day is a holiday. The chorus then follows, making it clear that this is the good life, and anything is possible, take a good look and have anything you want.
Miley then goes on to describe further what the good life means to her- fancy restaurants, Gucci bags, Prada shoes and using her credit card to get anything she wants. She sings about the satisfaction of owning everything and the delight in brands recognizing how important she is as a customer. She then concludes the song by encouraging the listener to indulge, impulsively and excessively fill their bags up to the top, try on clothes at the mall, and go to the hair salon, which is where she can confidently assure her listeners that there's no need for a layaway. The song's message is about living in the moment, enjoying what you have, and giving in to temptation.
