|---|---|
| Song |
"Good Life" is the fourth single released from OneRepublic's second studio album Waking Up.
Originally, "Good Life" was supposed to serve as the third single, but due to "Marchin On" being selected for FIFA, it had to be pushed back to being the fourth single.
Google used the song in its 2010 in review video, introducing the band to thousands of new fans.[1] The song is featured on the advertisements for the film Eat Pray Love,[2], in the trailer of One Day, in the film Easy A,[3] and also in the Cougar Town [4] episode "The Same Old You", and in the Rookie Blue episode "Fresh Paint."
Song structure
The song has a repeated driving beat on the drums with the strumming of an acoustic guitar and a high-sung chorus. Ryan Tedder was quoted as saying about the song, "The real hook is the post hook — it's what comes after it. We have this REALLY super simple whistle. I hadn't heard a whistle in a song in forever and that's all I kept hearing on the song so I just whistled this melody into the mic and it really is the hook — it's the catchiest part of the song."[5]
Music video

The music video shows the band performing the song in a field, shot through a vintage lens. It shows many different symbols and is a bit different from their previous videos. [6]
