"The Good Ones" is a song recorded by Canadian country artist Tebey and Canadian pop singer Marie-Mai.[1] The song was written by Tebey with Kylie Sackley and Matt Rogers.[2] It was the second single off Tebey's third studio album, The Good Ones.[3]

Background[]

Tebey said while writing the song, he thought of "looking back at a lost love".[2] The song was not originally intended to be a duet, but Tebey felt it was better served as a duet after recording the demo. He said Marie-Mai, a French-Canadian pop star, was his first choice and as they shared a mutual friend he was able to send her the song. Marie-Mai stated that she loves "trying different genres and breaking out of the boxes", and that she agreed to do the song immediately after hearing it.[4]

Critical reception[]

Sterling Whitaker of Taste of Country said the song blends "contemporary country and lush pop elements for a progressive sound".[5] The song was named Top Country Pick of the Week for October 11, 2019.[1]

Music video[]

The official music video for "The Good Ones" was directed by Raphael Mazzucco and premiered on Taste of Country on September 28, 2019.[6][5] The video was filmed on Mazzucco's property in Connecticut and features both singers.[2]

"The Good Ones" reached a peak of number 8 on the Billboard Canada Country chart dated March 7, 2020,[7] marking Tebey's sixth Top 10 hit.[8] It also peaked at number 14 on the Hot Canadian Digital Song Sales chart, his second charting entry there after "Wake Me Up" in 2014.[9]
