Elle King wrote "Good Girls" with producer Dave Bassett for the soundtrack to 2016's Ghostbusters, and RCA put it out as the soundtrack's lead single, digitally, on June 3, 2016, with Triple A radio picking it up on June 13. It's an uptempo tear through rockabilly and pop rock, charging along at 176 beats per minute in E minor with shades of soul and blues, and King's voice stretches across two octaves and change.
Reviews were warm: AllMusic's James Monger singled it out, along with "Get Ghost", as one of the soundtrack's high points, and it made the top 40 of Billboard's Rock Songs chart.
