"'Good News'" is a song by American musician Mac Miller from his sixth studio album, 'Circles' (2020). The song was written and produced by Miller and Jon Brion, and was released posthumously on January 9, 2020, as the lead single from the album. It peaked at number 17 on the US 'Billboard' Hot 100, becoming Miller's highest-charting single as a lead artist.
Composition
'XXL' describes the song as "tranquil" and having "some peaceful instrumentation and some sullen singing from Miller."
Reception
Alphonse Pierre of 'Pitchfork' described the song as having "a quiet optimism that pierces through the darkness." Pierre noted its similarities to 'Swimming:' "'Good News' evokes the sound of a live band at a beach resort: sleepy guitars, slow drums, and weary singing."
