Sheppard is back with their brand-new single “Good Time,” which marks the start of an exciting new era for one of Australia’s most successful musical exports. With millions of record sales and over a billion streams worldwide, the band is set to take the music scene by storm with their upcoming fourth studio album!
Their newest single “Good Time” is a pop production masterpiece, featuring an undeniable singalong chorus that will soon be lodged into your brain through the track’s catchy whistle hook that instantly brings out the sunshine and makes you want to dive headfirst into a margarita somewhere on the coastline. As George Sheppard explains, “It’s the idea that true happiness lies within the people you love. It’s not where you are or what you’re doing, it’s who you’re with.”
“Good Time” was written and recorded in Sweden by George Sheppard with hit-makers Lisa Desmond and fellow Eurovision alum, Robin Stjernberg. It’s the first taste of new music since their third album, Kaleidoscope Eyes, and their seasonal anthem, Christmas Without You, both released in 2021.
The accompanying music video for “Good Time,” which was recently filmed in South-East Melbourne in Australia, perfectly captures the spirit of the song. Directed by Josh Harris from Welcome the Machines (Having previously worked with Illy, Gang of Youths) and brought to life by ARIA-nominated artist Giulia Giannini McGauran (Tones and I, Lime Cordiale), the video features stunning visuals that transport you to a European summer’s day.
In the midst of all that’s been happening in the world, Sheppard wanted to write a pop song that lifts spirits and encourages enjoying good times with those who matter most. The track celebrates the joy of being surrounded by loved ones, whether they’re family, friends, pets, or even just within ourselves.
It would be an understatement to say that Sheppard’s “Good Time” is just a typical infectious pop anthem, because it is more than that, as it showcases Sheppard’s incredible talent as a band. With their unique blend of pop production, instrumentals, and vocals, the group is sure to capture the hearts of music fans worldwide.
