Featuring a recurring sample of Johann Sebastian Bach’s “Suite No. 3 in D major, BWV 1068”, “The Good Part” focuses on the desire to skip to the best part of one’s life.

In an interview with Zach Sang in August 2017, the band revealed that this song was the only track on the album that wasn’t written in their living room:

That was done in the back of Ingrid Michaelson’s tour bus because we were opening for her when we first started writing.
