GoodLuck bring it home with an early summer offering
JOBURG – New single fosters nostalgic look at our own personal disconnect from our true selves in our everyday lives.
Following a hectic Eurotrip alongside international producers, writers and incredible talent, GoodLuck come home with an early summer offering, Dear Future Me.
The song is an exciting collaboration with Netherlands-based musician, Jonas Kroeper who teamed up with the South African band for a short writing session last year. Combining the production styles of both artists has resulted in a refreshing blend of African elements with a strong pop sound that is immediately held together by the effortless voice of GoodLuck’s Jules Harding.

The lyrics in Dear Future Me have been crafted to remind us just how disconnected we have become from one another. How frantic our lives are, and just how little time we give to being present with each other and perhaps most importantly, ourselves. It is the nostalgic link back to when we were young and carefree that makes this song so powerful – the visceral call to remember how to let go of all the worries we carry around with us every day.
“These lyrics are very personal to me, my priorities were very messed up for a while as I struggled to balance my career and my personal life. I know this is a modern day human problem that we all struggle with. So I wrote a letter to myself, as if I was 11 years old. I remembered a time before all the pressure and the deadlines… and I wanted to remind myself not to lose that part of me,” said Harding.
The groove of this song is distinctly African, and it is this infectious rhythm that has already sparked interest from labels around the world, but the band has decided to trust their own team with the release slated for their independent label, Get Lucky Records.
“It’s never difficult drawing on our African culture for inspiration when we are making music. These sounds and styles have been a part of our lives since we were little and we love introducing them to new audiences. It makes us so proud of where we come from and where we are going as a country,” said producer, Ben Peters.
