We're Good
"We're Good" is a song by English singer Dua Lipa from Future Nostalgia: The Moonlight Edition (2021), the deluxe reissue of her second studio album Future Nostalgia (2020). The song was written by Lipa alongside Emily Warren, Scott Harris and Sly, with the latter of the three handling the production. It was released for digital download and streaming on 11 February 2021 as the lead single from the reissue, simultaneously with the reissue's release. "We're Good" is a bossa nova and 2000s-styled, midtempo tropical pop song with trap and reggae rock elements. It sees the singer fantasising about an amicable breakup with a former boyfriend.
Several critics complimented the sound and Lipa's vocal performance on "We're Good", while some found it interesting to see Lipa depart the sound of Future Nostalgia. However, some thought the sound did not fit Lipa. Commercially, the song reached number 21 on the Billboard Global 200. It also reached number 25 on the UK Singles Chart while charting within the top 40 of charts in 21 other countries, including a number 31 peak on the US Billboard Hot 100 and a number four peak in Croatia. The song was awarded platinum certifications in Canada, Italy, Poland, Spain and New Zealand.
The music video for "We're Good" was directed by Vania Heymann and Gal Muggia and filmed in New York City. Set on a ship similar to the Titanic and filmed from a lobster's point of view, it sees Lipa performing in a restaurant on the ship as the lobster watches his friends being taken out of their tank to eventually be cooked and served as dinner to the upper-class passengers Lipa performs for. Several critics complimented the video's fashion, which is taken from The Great Gatsby (2013), as well as the surreality of it. The song was further promoted with a remix by Dillon Francis and a performance by Lipa on BBC Radio 1's Live Lounge.
"We're Good" was written by Dua Lipa alongside Emily Warren, Scott Harris and its producer Sly. It was written towards the end of the sessions for Future Nostalgia. Lipa decided to leave the song off the record as she thought that all the songs needed to fit the "future" and "nostalgic" themes. She also thought that although it fit into the pop sensibilities of the Future Nostalgia material, it was not ready to be heard. Additionally, the song was unfinished at the time of the album's release and Lipa was still working on it. The singer also realized that she needed to save some music for the album's deluxe reissue. Lipa took a leap of faith with the production but thought that it perfectly fits the song's meaning. "We're Good" was recorded at Sly Studio in Copenhagen and Westlake Studios in Los Angeles with the vocals being recorded at TaP Studio in London. Josh Gudwin mixed the song at Henson Studios in Hollywood while Chris Gehringer mastered it at Sterling Sound in Edgewater, New Jersey.
Musically, "We're Good" is a midtempo tropical-pop song. The song was noted for being a departure from the disco-orientated music of Future Nostalgia, incorporating elements of trap and reggae rock while using stylizations from bossa nova and early 2000s music. The song has a length of 2:45 and is constructed in verse–chorus form. It is composed in the time signature of 4
4 time in the key of G♯ Dorian, with a tempo of 134 beats per minute. The song follows a chord progression of G♯m–C♯ in the verses while additional F♯ and B chords are added in the bridges; the chorus follows a B–C♯–F♯–G♯m sequence (sheet music originally published in the key of E minor). The song uses a tropical trap production that features strummed parts, laid-back, midtempo instrumentals, a gentle groove, and a rolling trap beat.
Lipa uses seductive vocals that range from G♯3 to B4 and makes use of belts and cracks. Lyrically, "We're Good" is a breakup anthem where Lipa sings about an amicable split from a former boyfriend. She fantasises about this way to end a relationship, and showcases a theme of one freeing themselves from being trapped in a relationship that is not meant to be. She sings mainly about one's solo recovery from a relationship that has run its course, showing the savage side of a breakup and a cold hearted attitude to moving on. She mentions how in this sort of breakup, the two parties would not get mad when the other moves on. The singer explained that she thought that this type of this split gets lost in translation a lot of the time and when things are ego-driven, it's over. The opening line "I'm on an island" was speculated to be a response to the backlash she faced while vacationing during the COVID-19 pandemic. The song also includes a metaphor of "sleeping and cocaine" to show the incompatibility of a relationship.
The whole story behind the song is an amicable breakup. I think a lot of people wish and hope for those, especially because they can be such a difficult process to go through that at some point, you just hope that it's a very easy break and you can both just move on with your life.
