SHEPPARD RELEASES NEW SINGLE & VIDEO - GOOD TIME.

SHEPPARD RELEASES NEW SINGLE & VIDEO - GOOD TIME. | Sheppard are back! Their brand-new single, Good Time marks the start of a whole new era for one of Australia’s most successful musical exports with millions of record sales and over a billion streams worldwide.



The first single from the band’s upcoming fourth studio album, Good Time is fuelled by an undeniable singalong chorus that will soon be lodged in the heads of millions across the world, as well as a whistle hook that instantly brings out the sunshine and makes you want to dive head first into a margarita somewhere on the coastline.

“It’s the idea that true happiness lies within the people you love.” George Sheppard explains. ”It’s not where you are or what you’re doing, it’s who you’re with. I’m one of those people who always want to go on an adventure. I’ve always chased the wonders of life. Tried to find all the fun things to do. But the older I get, the more places I’ve been, the more I’ve begun to realize that the best view I’ve ever had anywhere on Earth, is right back at home. The saying 'home is where the heart is' holds true because being with loved ones is what makes a place feel like home. This song celebrates the joy of being surrounded by loved ones, whether they're family, friends, pets, or even just within ourselves. In the midst of all that's been happening in the world, we wanted to write a pop song that lifts spirits and encourages enjoying good times with those who matter most."

The accompanying music video, as well as the single artwork, were brought to life by ARIA-nominated artist Giulia Giannini McGauran (Tones and I, Lime Cordiale) and director Josh Harris from Welcome the Machines (Illy, Gang of Youths) and was recently filmed in South-East Melbourne.

Says Amy Sheppard “Turning a remote Melbourne beach into a European summer’s day was quite the challenge but on our filming days, the clouds parted, the sun came out and the whole production team did an incredible job!”

Written and recorded in Sweden by George Sheppard with hit-makers Lisa Desmond and fellow Eurovision alum, Robin Stjernberg, Good Time is the first taste of new music since their third album, Kaleidoscope Eyes, and their seasonal anthem, Christmas Without You, both released in 2021.


Sheppard have now clocked up 1.2 billion combined streams of all their songs, including 2014’s global hit Geronimo plus classics like Coming Home, Let Me Down Easy, Learning to Fly, Eurovision entry On My Way, and Die Young. Those streaming figures demonstrate Sheppard truly are an international band, with their biggest audiences in the USA, as well as dedicated fan bases in Japan, Mexico, China, South Africa and most of Europe.



They now have over four million monthly listeners on Spotify alone, while their videos are about to crack 250 million combined views on YouTube

. “We’ve been very fortunate,” George says. “And it’s hard to put those figures into quantifiable numbers, but we feel it through our fans. Both online and at our live shows, it’s so cool to see such a diverse and multi-generational crowd. Honestly, we just feel so grateful. So many incredible things have had to go just right, and wrong, for us to have been lucky enough to call this our job, but it does also show the hard work we put into this early on has paid off.”

Good Time is out today is accompanied by the Official Music Video set to premiere on YouTube at 6pm AEDT tonight.

SHEPPARD - GOOD TIME LYRICS

I wanna spend my money where the days are sunny and bright 

I wanna find some people who don't mind no sleeping cause I'll be up tonight

I wanna live and let love fly with the birds in the sky 

And I know that you ain't disagreeing 

So come on, I just wanna be free yeah. 

So let’s not hesitate a moment longer

Open up your heart with me

Let it float and just keep singing

 

I’m just looking for a good time

Wanna take a never-ending holiday 

Margaritas on the coastline

At a beach that feels so far away

But I'm really just a punchline

Cause I already have an amazing view

Always looking for a good time

But my best time is always with you.

I plant flowers in the city cause I want it looking pretty somehow

I’m gonna chase that feeling where I’m higher than the ceiling and my heads up in the clouds

I’m sick of high rise livin’ and bad vibes bringin’ me down 

Yeah and I know that you ain’t disagreeing 

So cmon, take a chance to be free, yeah!

I just wanna have a good time

Have a good time

Have a good, good time

With you, with you
