Background, writing and release

On June 14, 2012, Adam Young announced via Twitter that he would be collaborating with Carly Rae Jepsen on a new song, claiming that it would be released on June 26, 2012.[1] On June 20, 2012, he released the single, "Good Time," via his SoundCloud account.[2][3] The song was released on iTunes on June 26, 2012. "Good Time" was written by Matt Thiessen, Brian Lee and Young himself. On August 23, 2012, the song became available in the United Kingdom before the official single release as a digital download on iTunes from Owl City's album The Midsummer Station.

Reception

Critical reception

It received generally positive reviews from critics, including Billboard: "It only makes sense that he's joined by Jepsen...[on] a track that could become a radio staple for the rest of the summer,"[4] and Entertainment Weekly: "'Good Time' goes down easier than a frozen margarita at a beachfront tiki bar."[3] On his site The Re-View, British critic Nick Bassett referred to the song as "an uplifting, out and out pop duet which will most definitely ensure that neither artist has to settle for a 'one hit wonder' tag."[5]
Slate's Forrest Wickman also called it a "worthy successor" to "Call Me Maybe". He pointed to how "the song opens with a familiar story, and then subverts it, by removing anything that's not squeaky clean." Like Kesha in "TiK ToK," the singer begins the song waking up after a night of hard partying, in his clothes with a song by Prince inside his head. But unlike them, Wickman observes, he's "on the right side of the bed", not hung over, and ready to go out again the next evening. "When a children's choir is tossed in at the end, it's a bit gratuitous, but in this wholesome song why not," he concludes. "'Good Time' is a guilty pleasure, without the guilt."[6]

Chart performance

In the US, the song debuted at No. 32 on the US Pop Songs chart, and No. 18 on the Billboard Hot 100, for the week dated July 4, reaching No. 8 a few weeks after.[7] The song is the second to make the top ten on the chart for both artists; Owl City's first top ten single since "Fireflies", as well as Carly Rae Jepsen's first top-ten single since "Call Me Maybe," making Jepsen one of the few artists in history to have two top ten songs in the same week. It sold a million in the United States by August 29, 2012,[8] and was certified Platinum by the RIAA.[9] It has sold 2,249,000 copies in the US in 2012.[10]
In Canada and New Zealand it peaked at No. 1, becoming Owl City's first number-one single and Jepsen's second in both countries. The song debuted at No. 17 on the UK Singles Chart on August 26, 2012. The song charted before the single release due to the song being available from Owl City's album, The Midsummer Station. It rose to 5 the following week, becoming Owl City's first top 5 UK hit since 2010's "Fireflies."

Music video

Background

The music video directed by Declan Whitebloom was released on July 24, 2012 on Owl City's official Vevo. On the same day, Adam Young tweeted about the video saying, "It's always a #goodtime going camping with @CarlyRaeJepsen" with a link to the video on YouTube. The video features both Jepsen and Young. It was filmed in Harriman State Park's Silvermine Picnic Area.[11]

Synopsis

Young and Jepsen in the "Good Time" music video
The music video begins with Jepsen waiting by her car in front of an apartment when her friends then come out and join her. They then drive, in a Fiat 500, away from the haze of New York City. As they drive away, the video alternates between shots of Jepsen and Young with his own group as they drive down a forest road. They eventually meet up at a small cabin-like building and start drinking slushies. As Jepsen's verse starts, she is shown walking through the forest with other shots of the rest of the group walking and coming to a campground. Once the hook and chorus begin, Young is seen by a lake, along with other shots of Jepsen and the rest of the group. Then as the day turns darker, they start dancing around a bonfire. Throughout the rest of the song, the group dances and parties through the night. Product placement was used throughout this video, including images of Fiat, Baby G and Beats products.

Live performances

Owl City and Carly Rae Jepsen performed "Good Time" at America's Got Talent Wild Card results show on August 22, 2012,[12] and the next day on Today.[13] The duo also performed it in New York on August 25, 2012 during Arthur Ashe Kids' Day, an event that marks the start of the U.S. Open;[14] The Tonight Show with Jay Leno on August 28, and Conan on August 29. Jepsen performed "Good Time" with Cody Simpson in Believe Tour.

Lawsuit

In October 2012, Alabama singer-songwriter Allyson Nichole Burnett filed a copyright infringement suit, authored by THR power lawyer Neville Johnson, in California federal court against Jepsen and Young as well as several publishing companies and performing rights groups. She claimed that Young, Matt Thiessen and Brian Lee copied a prominent motif of her 2010 song, "Ah, It's a Love Song". Burnett's song is in an F key while "Good Time" is in the key of E flat, but there are also other similarities with both of these songs, including an identical pitch sequence (5-3-5-3-2), melodic contour (down, up, down, down), rhythmic construction (8th rest, 8th note, 8th note, 8th note, 8th note, 8th rest, quarter note), timbre (textless vocals) etc.[15] Burnett was also suffering "emotional and psychological damage" from fans asking why she copied the song, although there isn't any specific cause of action pinned to her distress.[15]
