      “Good Day” – KTJ & CARLY

      I saw you with your new girlfriend

      Laughing at an Erewhon

      Complaining about the prices

      Claiming it’s over-hyped

      You come here for the vibes

      And it’s got me all wound up

      Like a ticking clock

      Oh, if I can’t escape you

      What am I supposed to do?

      Swipe your lucky charms

      I can't shake this grudge

      So sweet revenge sounds fun

      Released on March 14, "Good Day" is a fiery track from identical twins Katie and Carly Haynes – the Texas-born, Los Angeles-based duo known for crafting soul-soothing songs. A consistent presence in Atwood Magazine for five years, KTJ & CARLY create music that is personal, heartfelt, and resonant. The sisters’ strong bond shines through in everything from their impactful songwriting to their evocative performances, including their passionate vocal harmonies that highlight their unique sibling synergy. Each song is a captivating earworm, and "Good Day" is no exception: their first single of 2025, following last year's debut album Forever Young, promises to be another incredibly catchy release, perfect for moments of poor choices and spiteful revenge.

      The grass is greener

      The house is cleaner

      This will be a good day

      I set your car ablaze

      Told your boss you're a liar

      Yeah, this is the day

      I rolled by your place

      Then I opened my mouth

      Told everyone you’re

      super small down south

      Yeah, this is a good day

      Such a good day

      Oh, and I’m singing like

      This is such a good day

      This is such a good day

      Such a good day

      “‘Good Day’ is fundamentally about indulging in petty revenge fantasies,” the Haynes sisters explain.

      “All those little imaginary moments where you’re thriving while your ex is having the worst day ever, thanks to you. This song truly belongs in a realm where spite fuels your best day yet. Because sometimes, the best way to move on is to envision that you’ve already triumphed…”

      I saw you in your new ride

      Acting like you run the world

      Could I possibly hotwire it?

      Looked it up on YouTube

      Thought I had a breakthrough

      Now I want to break you

      I think I’ll take you down

      We’re two sides of a seesaw

      Everyone’s joining in

      I think I’m gonna take you out

      "Good Day" focuses on the freedom of not caring as you dream about getting back at the one who hurt you first. Some of those revenge ideas from the therapeutic track include setting their car on fire, signing them up for Scientology, and even framing them for murder. Although you should never act on such wild fantasies, just imagining them can be strangely healing.

      KTJ & CARLY are a rising force in the indie pop scene. Like their stirring single "Forever Young" and their sultry track "Falling onto You," "Good Day" will resonate with many, as most of us have experienced heartbreak and dealt with that pain in both productive and less productive ways. Lyrics like “Your mom says she misses me” might even bring a smile, as it’s a relatable scenario of parents getting attached.

      Breakups are seldom easy. Play “Good Day” and unleash your inner hell… even if it’s just in your imagination.

      The sun feels brighter

      Steps feel lighter

      This will be a good day

      Signed you up for Scientology

      Your mom said that she misses me

      This is such a good day

      I tied your shoes together

      Raining down on your plans

      But I’m having such a good day

      I framed you for murder

      You’re probably going away forever

      Bye, I’ll probably never see you again

      God, this is such a good day
