Kesha and Macklemore Release Nostalgic Banger 'Good Old Days'
The 'Praying' singer teams up with the rapper for the low-key party anthem...
Macklemore enlists the help of Kesha for his brand new single - an absolute banger, by the way - 'Good Old Days'.
The 'Rainbow' singer opens the feel-good song over an emotional piano riff before the song picks up the tempo when Macklemore goes on a nostalgia trip about the early days of his career, where the production is almost reminiscent of Avicii's folk-dance sound.
"I wish somebody would have told me that some day these would be the good old days," Kesha sings, showing off her incredible raspy voice that we're still just so happy to hear again.
This is a real, this is, excuse me?
Ok, shut up
I buy my own things, I pay my own bills
These diamond rings, my automobiles
Everything I got, I bought it, boys can't buy my love, buy my love, yeah
I do what I want (She does), say what you say
I work real hard every day
I'm a motherfucking woman, baby, alright
I don't need a man to be holding me too tight
I'm a motherfucking woman, baby, that's right
I'm just having fun with my ladies here tonight
I'm a motherfucker
Mmh, yeah
Let's drive around town in my Cadillac
Girls in the front, boys in the back
Loosey as a goosey and we're looking for some fun
I'm a motherfucking woman, baby, alright
I don't need a man to be holding me too tight
I'm a motherfucking woman, baby, that's right
I'm just having fun with my ladies here tonight
I'm a motherfucker
Mmh, yeah
Mmh, yeah
Don't buy me a drink, I make my money
Don't touch my weave, don't call me "honey"
'Cause I run my shit, baby (I run my shit)
Don't buy me a drink, I make my money
Don't touch my weave, don't call me "honey"
'Cause I write this shit, baby, I write this shit
Don't buy me a drink, I make my money
Don't touch my weave, don't call me "honey"
'Cause I run my shit, baby, I run my shit
Don't buy me a drink, I make my money
Don't touch my weave, don't call me "honey" (Don't touch my weave, baby)
'Cause I run my shit, baby, I run my shit
Don't buy me a drink, I make my money
Don't touch my weave, don't call me "honey"
'Cause I run this shit, baby, I run this shit
Don't buy me a drink, I make my money
Don't touch my weave, don't call me "honey"
'Cause I write this shit, baby, I write this shit
I'm a motherfucking woman, baby, alright
I don't need a man to be holding me too tight
I'm a motherfucking woman, baby, that's right
I'm just having fun with my ladies here tonight
I'm a motherfucker
Mmh, yeah
'Good Old Days' is the latest single from Macklemore's second solo album Gemini, which drops tomorrow (!), and it's quite similar to his material with Ryan Lewis, perhaps intentionally considering the song's nostalgic vibes.
"We made a song ‘Good Old Days’ that makes me feel the nostalgia from when I was 16 years old and chasing wild dreams and hoping for the best," Kesha said.
"Not knowing that those moments would be so precious. Thankful for those random wild nights."
We all have those memories, although the song makes sure not to get lost in the nostalgia and be present for more memories today.
Ultimately, past or present, the song is just one of those epic sing-along, lighters-in-the-air anthems about just living your best life and that's all we ever want to hear, really.
"All the love you won't forget / And all those reckless nights you won't regret." Cheers to that!

Dress in black, act so heartless
But now I see that colors are everything
Got kaleidoscopes in my hairdo
Got back the stars in my eyes, too
Yeah, now I see the magic inside of me
Yeah, maybe my head's fucked up
But I'm falling right back in love with being alive
Dreaming in light, light, lights
This kitty cat lost her mind
Been looking for a star-sent sign that I'll be alright
Look to the skies
I've found a rainbow, rainbow, baby
Trust me, I know, life is scary
But just put those colors on, girl
Come and play along with me tonight
I'd forgot how to daydream
So consumed with the wrong things
But in the dark, I realized this life is short
And deep down, I'm still a child
Playful eyes, wide and wild
I can't lose hope, what's left of my heart's still made of gold
And I know that I'm still fucked up
But aren't we all, my love?
Darling, our scars make us who we are, are
So when the winds are howling strong
And you think you can't go on, hold tight, sweetheart
You'll find a rainbow, rainbow, baby
Trust me, I know life is scary
But just put those colors on, girl
Come and play along with me tonight
You gotta learn to let go, put the past behind you
Trust me, I know, the ghosts will try to find you
But just put those colors on, girl
Come and paint the world with me tonight
Night, night, night, night, night
I found a rainbow, rainbow, baby
Trust me, I know life is scary
But just put those colors on, girl
You gotta learn to let go, put the past behind you
Trust me, I know, the ghosts will try to find you
But just put those colors on, girl
Come and paint the world with me tonight
Oh, put those colors on, girl
Come and paint the world with me tonight
Come and paint the world with me tonight
