The Real Meaning Behind Niko Moon's 'Good Time'

"Good Time" almost never became a Niko Moon song. The songwriter had originally written it to shop around for other country singers. But serendipity intervened, as Moon found no takers for the single which — after he tweaked the lyrics — ended up being the title track of his debut EP. "And then about a year later, when I started making my album, I remembered that song," he told The Boot in March 2020.

Moon wanted to relay a message to fans with the single. "And it's the simplest message ever: Life is short! Have a good time. Life is stressful enough as it is," he told The Boot. The hit tune lived up to its title, and is filled with lyrics that evoke a great night with friends. "We just tryna catch a good time / Even if it takes all night / Pass that bottle 'round the campfire," Moon sings in the opening chorus. "No other plans other than relax / We ain't worried about tomorrow from where we at," he sings at the close of the first verse.

Do not expect Moon to release an album of tear-jerking ballads, as the artist is only concerned with promoting positivity. "I don't do 'sad songs,'" he told Lyric Magazine in March. "I only do 'happy stuff' because that's what I feel in my heart that I should be doing."
