Brett Eldredge is looking at the bright side of life in his new single, “Good Day.” Featured on his latest album Sunday Drive, “Good Day” was originally released in 2020 ahead of the album. It’s his second single from the project.
“In our society, everybody feels like we need to put on that perfect outer look, and I got so tired of that. I didn’t want to do it anymore,” Brett previously shared with Good Morning America following the track’s initial release in 2020. “This song says ‘have the self-awareness of yourself of being like, ‘I’m gonna make this a good day no matter what is thrown at me and I’m going to give it my best foot forward.’”
“I wrote this song when I was searching to find positivity in my life instead of focusing on a day being dark and stormy and your emotions being in a tough spot,” the 34-year-old country singer tells People. “I make the decision to have a good day, even in the darkness, and that awareness gives me a better outlook on life.” He adds, “‘Good Day’ brings me a lot of optimism in tough times and I hope it can do the same for others.”
To create Sunday Drive, Brett ditched his smart phone for a flip phone and a Polaroid camera, taking a much-needed break from social media in order to focus on his inner creativity.
Produced by GRAMMY-winning producers Daniel Tashian and Ian Fitchuk, Sunday Drive debuted as the top-selling country album week of release and marked the Warner Music Nashville recording artist’s fifth Top 5 on the Top Country Albums chart. The Tennessean called it “a creative rebirth for one of modern country’s most soulful vocalists” with People describing the album as “bounding anthems and expansive ballads not meant for indoor listening.” Named “his most compelling set yet, full of musical diversity and heart” by Billboard, Eldredge has performed several Sunday Drive tracks on multiple national TV broadcasts including Good Morning America, Live with Kelly and Ryan, Late Night with Stephen Colbert and more.
