Good Kid wrestle with self-worth on their new single ‘Cicada’

Toronto's Good Kid have released their new single 'Cicada', marking the final preview before their debut album 'Can We Hang Out Sometime?' arrives on 3rd April.

The track delves into themes of self-worth and personal growth, lead vocalist Nick Frosst shares. "The feeling of not being enough is certainly something I’ve experienced. One of the nicest things I’ve ever heard from my partner is being told: 'You are enough.' It’s a deeply reassuring sentence, and not one I’ve always felt by any means."

Guitarist David Wood reflects on a formative relationship that inspired his part in the song, explaining, "The very first real relationship I had when I was younger ended because I was verbally very ambitious about what I wanted to achieve in music, but I never showed the drive or effort to achieve it. I think she noticed, and the breakup was brutal.

"A huge chunk of my career had been this idea in the back of my head that if I could be this perfect version of myself, I might win them back. But really, this song is about realising that rather than being motivated to be that for someone else, it’s about being able to be a better person so you can move on from that."
