Cage the Elephant have released a new song titled “Good Time,” the latest single from their forthcoming album, Neon Pill.
Musically, “Good Time” is reminiscent of Cage the Elephant’s mid-2010s classics, with punchy drums driving harmonic layers of guitar chords and fuzzy keyboard lines. Lyrically, along with the other tracks on Neon Pill, it speaks to the phase of life the members of Cage the Elephant find themselves in, juxtaposing tense verses with the soaring chorus refrain of “Everybody had a good time.”

Speaking about their new phase of writing, the band’s Matthew Shultz said, “With this album, having gone through so much, life had almost forced us into becoming more and more comfortable with ourselves. We weren’t reaching for much outside of the pure experience of self expression, and simultaneously not necessarily settling either. We just found a uniqueness in simply existing.” Stream “Good Time” below.
“Good Time” follows previous Neon Pill singles “Out Loud” and title track “Neon Pill.” The full album is due on May 17th via RCA Records, and will arrive in digital, CD, and vinyl formats. Pre-orders are ongoing.
Next month, Cage the Elephant will hit the road in support of Neon Pill, stopping in cities like Seattle, Los Angeles, Chicago, Philadelphia, New York, and many more. Check out the full list of their upcoming dates, and grab tickets here.
