“Something Good” was originally released on June 17th, streaming exclusively through Billboard before being added to Spotify a few days later.
Waiting On The Sun was announced on the same day that “Something Good” premiered. The album’s name comes from a line in this song.
[Verse 1]
I've been waiting on the sun to shine my direction
For quite some time now
Caught in the rhythm of just hanging on
I never really felt the heat of the sun or the hands of someone
Or felt the burn of the flame or the words of true love
I probably never will
I probably never will
[Chorus]
'Cause every night is night after night after night after night
I fall out of bed with money in my head that I'll probably never see
Still worrying, ooh-ooh, on another bad thing
I stutter everyday with promises I say that I probably can't keep
Still worrying, ooh-ooh, when's something good gonna happen to me?
[Verse 2]
Angel, I need you tonight
Angel, come save me tonight
I've been waiting on the sun to shine my direction
For quite some time now
Caught in the rhythm of just hanging on
[Chorus}
'Cause every night is night after night after night after night
I fall out of bed with money in my head that I'll probably never see
Still worrying, ooh-ooh, on another bad thing
I stutter everyday with promises I say that I probably can't keep
Still worrying, ooh-ooh, when's something good gonna happen to me?
When's something good gonna happen to me?
When's something good gonna happen?
[Verse 3]
Never really felt the strength of the cage or the chains that bind me
Or felt the cool of the air, or the heart inside me
I probably never will
I probably never will
[Chorus]
'Cause every night is night after night after night after night
I fall out of bed with money in my head that I'll probably never see
Still worrying, ooh-ooh-ooh, on another bad thing
I stutter everyday with promises I say that I probably can't keep
Still worrying, ooh-ooh, when's something good gonna happen to me?
When's something good gonna happen to me?
When's something good gonna happen to me?
(Angel, I need you to-)
When's something good gonna happen to me?
When's something good gonna happen?
Something Good was written by Jake Roland & Frequency.

Jule Vera released Something Good on Wed May 17 2017.
In an interview with Billboard, vocalist Ansley Newman stated:
[It’s] a song that started from worry, confusion about the future, and struggling for self-worth. The stress of constantly waiting for good things to happen really helped inspire the lyrics.
