Good as Hell

Good as Hell

Lizzo

This is a single by indie rap artist Lizzo, included on the Barbershop: The Next Cut soundtrack. The song is an ode to self-love, produced by Ricky Reed, who is behind a ton of 2016’s pop confections (Twenty One Pilots, Meghan Trainor, and more).

Lizzo described the process of making the song with Idolator:

It came from Ricky Reed and I. We have such a great chemistry in the studio and I think we had maybe made one or two songs prior. We were still doing chemistry tests with each other. We were in the studio and he was playing this piano riff and he was like, “How does this make you feel?”. I went through a lot of things in my head but it made me feel was like the hair toss emoji. You know, the pink sweater emoji girl with the hair. So I went from that hair toss, to checking my nails. It was a natural statement that came out my mouth. Ricky was like “feeling good as hell”. We just rolled with that. After that everything just kind of came out so easily. That’s when I think our chemistry was really sealed. I just felt like everything’s going to be okay.
