Charli XCX - Good Ones

[Verse 1]
I wish you gave me a reason
That you were better at leavin'
That you got your kicks from seein' me low
I always let the good ones go
Don't want the kisses, unless they're bitter
I'm hooked on touches that leave me weaker
I swear that I love nothin' more than broke
I always let the good ones go

[Pre-Chorus]
And baby, you couldn't have loved me any better
But doin' this is all that I've known ever
I want the bad ones, 'causе they're all I know
I always let thе good ones go

[Chorus]
I always let the good ones go-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
I let the good ones go-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
I let the good ones

[Verse 2]
Let you down easy, I'm tryin'
'Cause you're everything I've spent my whole life fightin'
So when I walk away, it's not your fault
I always let the good ones go
[Pre-Chorus]
And baby, you couldn't have loved me any better
But doin' this is all that I've known ever
I want the bad ones 'cause they're all I know
I always let the good ones go

[Chorus]
I always let the good ones go-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh (Oh, oh)
I let the good ones go-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh (Yeah, yeah)
I let the good ones go-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
(And baby you couldn't have loved me any better, better, better)
I let the good ones go-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
(But doin' this is all that I've known ever, ever, ever)
I let the good ones go

"Good Ones" is the lead single from Charli XCX's fifth studio album, CRASH. The song turns away from the more experimental hyperpop-oriented production of her previous releases, returning to the poppier sound present earlier in her career. It was described as a synthwave and electropop song, filled with "hypnotic, throbbing synths" and "punchy production". Lyrically, the song depicts her habit to attract toxic relationships and sabotage healthy ones.
