The Gabby Barrett The Good Ones song was released in 2020 for her debut studio album, Goldmine. Country music artist Gabby Barrett illuminates the real world “good ones” in her heartfelt music video. At its core, “The Good Ones” is a love song that celebrates the special bond between two people. The song is written from the perspective of someone who has been through their fair share of heartbreak and disappointment in love, but has finally found someone who makes it all worthwhile. The lyrics are both intimate and relatable, capturing the joy and vulnerability of falling in love: This song reached #1 on the Billboard Hot Country songs chart starting April 10, 2021.
Directed by Brian Vaughn and Taylor Kelly and shot in Nashville, TN, “The Good Ones” tells the frame-by-frame story of a young-and-in-love couple’s life together– going to the grocery store, hanging out on the couch to watch movies, taking a dip in the pool and more. Intertwined throughout the clips, the male actor is seen working away in his barn building something from scratch. The video then takes a moving turn to reveal what makes their relationship, and his project, so special.
Barrett is seen throughout the video singing in ethereal lighting, narrating the story with the song that inspired it. She gets a sweet surprise when fiancé Cade Foehner, her “good one,” stops by for a quick cameo. “’The Good Ones’ is such a special song to me — it’s inspired by my love story with my fiancé Cade, so I knew that the video needed to be just as special,” Barrett shared with PEOPLE.

“The Good Ones” Lyrics
He’s a phone call to his parents
He’s a bible by the bed
He’s the t-shirt that I’m wearing
He’s a song stuck in my head
He’s solid and he’s steady like the Allegheny runs
He knows just where he’s going
And he’s proud of where he’s from
One of the good ones
He’s one of the good ones
A love me like he should one
Like he wrote the book one
The kind you find when you don’t even look one
Anybody can be good once
But he’s good all the time
He’s one of the good ones
And he’s all mine
He’s one of the good ones
You’ll know him when you see him
By the way he looks at me
You’d say he hung the moon
I’d say he hung the galaxy
Nobody does it better
Oh the way he pulls me in
I’ve known a couple bad ones
But they all led me to him
He’s one of the good ones
A love me like he should one
Like he wrote the book one
The kind you find when you don’t even look one
Anybody can be good once
But he’s good all the time
He’s one of the good ones
And he’s all mine
He’s one of the good ones
We should all find us one
They’re out there, minus one
Some of the good ones
Yeah, I got a good one
A love me like he should one
Like he wrote the book one
The kind you find when you don’t even look
Anybody can be good once
But he’s good all the time
He’s one of the good ones
And he’s all mine
He’s one of the good ones
And he’s all mine
