Country music star Dustin Lynch has scored himself another #1, this time as both an artist and a songwriter. “Good Girl” tops both the Billboard and Country Aircheck/Mediabase Country Airplay charts this week. He co-wrote the surprise summertime anthem alongside Justin Ebach and Andy Albert.
“I’ve never started the year with a #1 song, and I’ve got to say, this feels really good,” Lynch remarked in a statement. “I moved to town with the dream of writing songs and singing on stage, and finally the stars aligned, and everything worked out. I’ve learned the lesson of perseverance, of hard work and continuing to hone your craft.”
The hit is a landmark achievement unique to his previous chart success, marking his first #1 as a songwriter, something Lynch has waited for since the beginning of his career and finds “very very special. As a songwriter, getting a #1 is life-changing.”
Lynch’s previous #1 hits include Platinum-certified “Small Town Boy” and “Where It’s At,” and GOLD-certified chart-toppers “Hell of a Night,” “Mind Reader,” and “Seein’ Red,” tallying an impressive 5 consecutive #1 singles between 2014-2017.
This year, the artist will make his UK debut at C2C in March, and will join the Canadian leg of Thomas Rhett’s Life Changes Tour in April and North American Very Hot Summer Tour starting in May as direct support.
“Hopefully as a songwriter this is the start,” said Lynch. “With new music on the way, I can guarantee there will be more right around the corner.”

“Good Girl” Lyrics
Yeah you up and took my whole world and made it so good girl
I’m lovin’ just livin’ every minute since you came around
I was lost in the neon lights ’til the day that you called me yours
Yeah they say when you know you know, and I know one thing’s for sure
Still can’t believe I found you, can’t imagine life without you
I could take you home to mama, take you to the church right down the street
Yeah you up and took my whole world and made it so good girl
Aw so good baby, yeah
Gonna still be me you and me watchin’ that sun goin’ down
I’ll still be stealin’ your kisses, I’ll still be holdin’ your hand
I still look at you and I pinch myself, good Lord I’m a lucky man
Still can’t believe I found you, can’t imagine life without you
I could take you home to mama, take you to the church right down the street
Yeah you up and took my whole world and made it so good girl
Aw so good baby
And they say when you know you know, and I know one thing’s for sure
Still can’t believe I found you, can’t imagine life without you
I could take you home to mama, take you to the church right down the street
Yeah you up and took my whole world and made it so good girl
Aw so good baby
(Still can’t believe I) I found you
Good Lord I’m a lucky man
I could take you home to mama, take you to the church right down the street
Yeah you up and took my whole world and made it so good girl
Aw so good baby
