Composition

"Good Girls" is an uptempo rockabilly[4] and pop rock[5][6] song written by Elle King and Dave Bassett. According to the digital sheet music published by EMI Music Publishing, the song was originally composed in the key of E minor and set in common time to a "fast" tempo of 176 BPM.[5] The song follows a chord progression of Em—A5—Em / Em—B7Шаблон:Sub—Em—G, while King's vocals span a range of two octaves and one note, from BШаблон:Sub through CШаблон:Sub.[5] Critics have also noted influences of soul[7] and blues genres.[8]

Reception

Critical

In a review of the Ghostbusters soundtrack, James Monger of AllMusic praised "Good Girls" and "Get Ghost" as highlights, writing: "Mark Ronson... gets the vibe right on the hook-filled... "Get Ghost"..., and Elle King dispatches the sassy girl power jam "Good Girls" but the rest of the set feels rushed and forgettable".[9] Michael Roffman of Consequence of Sound gave a glowing review of the song: "Much like her past earworms... ["Good Girls" is] nuclear, wired with dozens of hooks and made urgent by scandalous lyrics that go hand in hand with the majority of today's nihilistic pop".[10]

Commercial

"Good Girls" debuted and peaked at number 29 on the Billboard Hot Rock Songs chart dated June 25, 2016.[11] The song also entered the Rock Digital Songs and Alternative Digital Songs component charts at 10 and 11, respectively, for the same week.[12][13] "Good Girls" entered the Billboard Adult Alternative Songs airplay chart at number 24 on the chart dated August 13 and reached a peak position of 21 two weeks later.[14]

Music video

The accompanying music video for "Good Girls" was directed by Dano Cerny and premiered July 13, 2016.[15] It takes place first in a haunted laundromat and later in a dive bar, where King can be seen playing pool, smoking a cigar, and arm wrestling.[16][17] King dyed her hair blue for the video, with the makeup artist responsible for the clip, Michelle Clark, describing the goal of the visual styling as "badass".[18] Tying in the film concept, King's character dispatches a handful of ghosts with the franchise's signature proton gun. Towards the end of the video, clips of the film are showcased.[16][17]

Performances and promotion

King appeared on the July 15, 2016 episode of Good Morning America to promote the single and the Ghostbusters film, and performed "Good Girls" live.[19]
