Sometimes a song comes along that doesn’t just make you tap your foot – it makes you grin from ear to ear. Jess and the Bandits’ latest single, “God Did Good”, is exactly that kind of track. It’s the musical equivalent of sunshine, radiating warmth and positivity with every beat.
“God Did Good” opens with a lively blend of guitars and drums, setting a spirited pace that carries throughout the song. There’s something undeniably infectious about the production, which is slick but still maintains a touch of the rough-and-ready country charm that Jess and the Bandits are known for. Derek Hanes has done a stellar job behind the scenes, crafting a sound that feels both big and intimate, perfect for both large arenas and small theatres.
Jessica Clemmons’ vocals are the star of the show here, and she doesn’t disappoint. Her voice is rich and full of character, effortlessly conveying the song’s message of joy and gratitude. There’s a playfulness in her delivery, a kind of wink-and-a-smile quality that draws you in and keeps you hooked. When she sings “When God made you, God did good”, you can’t help but believe her – and maybe even start thinking about that special someone in your own life.
This is a love song that doesn’t overcomplicate things. Instead, it celebrates the little things that make someone unique and lovable. There’s an honesty in the words that feels refreshing, a reminder that sometimes the best love songs are the ones that just say what they mean. The chorus is catchy without being cloying, making it easy to imagine this track becoming a sing-along favourite at live shows.
As the lead single from their upcoming album, Jessica, “God Did Good” sets a high bar. It’s a song that’s easy to love, with a vibe that’s impossible to resist. Jess and the Bandits have crafted a track that’s full of life – and it’s exactly what we need right now. Whether you’re blasting it on a road trip, playing it at a backyard barbecue or just listening on your morning commute, it’s guaranteed to put you in a good mood.
