Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It's always a good time
Woah-oh-oh-oh
It's always a good time
Woke up on the right side of the bed
What's up with this Prince song inside my head?
Hands up if you're down to get down tonight
Slept in all my clothes like I didn't care
Hopped into a cab, take me anywhere
I'm in if you're down to get down tonight
'Cause it's always a good time
Good morning and good night
I wake up at twilight
It's gonna be alright
We don't even have to try
It's always a good time
Woah-oh-oh-oh woah-oh-oh-oh
It's always a good time
Woah-oh-oh-oh
We don't even have to try, it's always a good time.
Freaked out, dropped my phone in the pool again
Checked out of my room hit the ATM
Let's hang out if you're down to get down tonight
'Cause it's always a good time
Good morning and good night
I wake up at twilight
It's gonna be alright we don't even have to try
It's always a good time.
Woah-oh-oh-oh woah-oh-oh-oh
It's always a good time
Woah-oh-oh-oh
We don't even have to try, it's always a good time.
Woah-oh-oh-oh woah-oh-oh-oh
It's always a good time
Woah-oh-oh-oh
We don't even have to try, it's always a good time.
Doesn't matter when
It's always a good time then
Doesn't matter where
It's always a good time there
Doesn't matter when,
It's always a good time then
It's always a good time
Woah-oh-oh-oh woah-oh-oh-oh
It's always a good time
Woah-oh-oh-oh
We don't even have to try, it's always a good time
Woah-oh-oh-oh woah-oh-oh-oh
It's always a good time
Woah-oh-oh-oh
We don't even have to try, it's always a good time.
Owl City (Feat. Carly Rae Jepson)'s song "Good Time" is an upbeat song about living life to the fullest and having a good time no matter what. The lyrics describe waking up feeling good and carefree, and wanting to enjoy the night with friends. The chorus emphasizes that no matter when or where, it's always a good time, and that there's no need to try too hard to make it so.
The opening lines set a lighthearted tone, as if the singer knows it's going to be a great day no matter what. The reference to a Prince song inside their head is a playful nod to the power of music to uplift and energize. The song then turns to a description of a night out with friends, with the suggestion that anything goes and everyone is free to have a good time. The idea is that it doesn't matter where you are or what you're doing, as long as you're with people you like and having fun, it's always going to be a good time.
The chorus is a catchy earworm that drives home the message of the song: that good times are always within reach, and that you don't need to stress or try too hard to make them happen. It's a simple message that's relatable to everyone, and the buoyant melody makes it a perfect party song.

Something about being a kid during the late 2000’s and early 2010’s feels so magical. Going to the pool on a hot summer day, sitting in the backseat of a car listening to pop music on the radio, watching cartoons during the weekend, playing mobile games on parent’s phone, and just plain having fun. Doing kid stuff without a care in the world. It was just an amazing experience.
