• Erica Falls wrote the bulk of her second full-length album, Emotions, during the COVID-19 lockdown, but the feel-good single "Good Time" was inspired by her first taste of freedom when restrictions started easing up.
  
  "'Good Time' came to me when we were able to go outside a little bit," the New Orleans singer-songwriter told the Songfacts Podcast in 2024. "I was on a boat in Switzerland at a festival, and this melody came to mind. It was more about release, like having fun because everybody was inside and worried about things like who has a mask on and who doesn't. And this was about laying your burdens down and leaving it all on the dance floor, and just having some fun.
  
  I sang the melody in my voice memo on my iPhone so I could remember, and then I went back to the hotel room and just started writing out what I was feeling."
• Before returning to solo work, Falls was the lead vocalist of the New Orleans funk band Galactic for nearly five years.
