Background

“Good Day” starts off Scaled And Icy on a different note than other first tracks seen on Twenty One Pilots’ albums. Whereas Jumpsuit from Trench, Heavydirtysoul from Blurryface, and Ode to sleep from Vessel immediately start off strong, “Good Day” begins with a simple piano riff reminiscent of Elton John’s style, and builds in sound as the song progresses. Frontman Tyler Joseph shared in an interview that he did so with live shows in mind, imagining the song “kicking on section by section” like lights in a warehouse.

The song is based on a thought experiment Tyler had where he wondered how he’d react if he suddenly lost everyone he held dear to him (i.e. his wife and daughter). His reaction here is one of shock and denial—the first stage of grief—as he sings out that “it’s a good day,” despite what has occurred.
