Since then, the track has soared to the charts.
“A love me like he should one
Like he wrote the book one
The kind you find when you don’t even look one
Anybody can be good once
But he’s good all the time
He’s one of the good ones
And he’s all mine
He’s one of the good ones”
Barrett wrote “The Good Ones” in 2019 alongside Zach Kale, Emily Landis, and Jim McCormick. The song was inspired by Barrett’s husband Cade Foehner and was intended to highlight positive relationships, in contrast to the type of story depicted in “I Hope”. Lyrically, the song is a “nuanced ballad” that describes the type of man one would hope to marry.
The song is currently at #1 in the US. Listen to the sweet country tune here.
