Good TimeOwl City & Carly Rae Jepsen
A staple party song! It’s “Good Time,” a collaboration between Owl City and Carly Rae Jepsen.
Since its 2012 release, it’s the kind of track you hear whenever there’s some event going on.
Owl City, who had earned a strong reputation as a synth-pop trackmaker, really knows how to get listeners hyped.
This collaboration came about because Owl City’s and Carly’s managers were from the same hometown, which made it easy to reach out to Carly by email.
They then discovered they were fans of each other, hit it off, and that led to the release of this song.
When you want to get together with friends and let loose—like at a BBQ—this is the one to play!
