Day 22: Lizzo, Good as Hell (Remix) | 30-Day Song Challenge 🎶

What better way to move forward on Day 22 of the 30-Day Song Challenge than feeling “Good as Hell” with Lizzo (plus Ariana Grande)? 

Embracing the trendiness of social media, The Musical Hype unleashes its own, month-long version of the 30-Day Song Challenge.

Day 22 Prompt: A song that moves you forward

“So, girl, if he don’t love you anymore / Then walk your fine ass out the door.” Attitude! Day 22 of the 30-Day Song Challenge calls for a song that moves you forward.  I know, I’m not a girl, nor would I necessarily characterize myself as ‘fine’ but, I appreciate the empowering message of “Good as Hell.” This is a ‘forward thinking’ song in regard to the fact it entails disallowing yourself to be brought down or dictated by, well, a total douche bag, asshole, etc. I suppose. 

The proud parent of a song that is indeed ‘good as hell,’ Lizzo, had a tremendous year in 2019.  Of course “Good as Hell” long predates the super deluxe edition of Cuz I Love You of which it ultimately appears. The hot commodity of song was made even hotter via the “Good as Hell (Remix)” featuring Ariana Grande. The vocals from Lizzo are on-point, filled with energy.  The personality she infuses into her performance, coupled with brilliant production work by Ricky Reed makes this a totally infectious bop. Adding Grande, particularly with a degree of control and subtlety, works out well, providing a nice contrast, as she sneaks in on the second half of the second verse.  From there, the two trade lines or sing together with remarkable results.  By the final chorus, the duet is quite ripe, giving listeners some epic ear candy – or something like that.  Even if you’re a dude like me, who can resist:

“And do your hair toss, check my nails
Baby, how you feelin’ (Feelin’ good as hell).”

“Good as Hell (Remix)” previously appeared on 15 G Songs Selected with No Rhyme or Reason and 11 More Really ‘Good’ Songs… It’s That Simple.
