K O D A E & TAYLR – “Good Life” Single

“Good Life” features mesmerizing vocals in collaboration with producer Eric Osborne, who sought to craft a track that captures the exuberance and simplicity of living well. The inspiration struck from Noah Derksen’s song “One Stab at the Good Life,” which stirred something deep within TAYLR, prompting her to celebrate the worthy pursuit of happiness. “I knew I wanted to celebrate the worthy fight of living well and working towards the happiness that simplicity can bring.”

Describing the production process, TAYLR highlights the excitement she and Eric Osborne felt while brainstorming. “This is one of the songs Eric Osborne and I were most excited about when we were brainstorming the production and the idea to have the tune feel like a club track.” The lyrics— “Why don’t we go where the trees grow? No resistance, nature’s sweet dance” — beautifully encapsulates the song’s theme: escaping to nature, embracing simplicity, and cherishing moments with loved ones.

“Good Life” also boasts a happy instrumentation that flows with the grace of a valley stream at sunset. It’s an experience that encourages listeners to dance, hold their friends’ hands, and savor the essence of life. TAYLR invites everyone to join in this celebration and hopes the track brings as much joy to the audience as it did to her in creating it. “This song makes me want to dance and hold my friends’ hands — I hope you love it.”

With a captivating sound and heartfelt message, “Good Life” by K O D A E & TAYLR is a reminder that the pursuit of happiness is a dance worth experiencing.
