"Good News" came out in January 2020 as the first single from Circles, Mac Miller's sixth studio album, and it arrived after his death, which makes its hushed, weary calm impossible to hear any other way. Miller wrote and produced it with Jon Brion, who plays guitar and keyboards alongside Wendy Melvoin on guitar and bass and Matt Chamberlain on drums, with Greg Koller recording and mixing.
XXL called it tranquil. Pitchfork's Alphonse Pierre heard a quiet optimism cutting through the darkness and a kinship with Swimming, likening it to a live band playing a beach resort, all drowsy guitars, slow drums and tired singing. It went on to reach 17 on the Hot 100, the highest a Mac Miller single ever climbed with him as lead artist.
