**"Good Intentions"** is a song by Magdalena Bay. It was released on September 26, 2019 as the second single from their third EP *A Little Rhythm and a Wicked Feeling.*

## Composition

"Good Intentions" is composed in the key of B♭ minor. The song's tempo is 140 beats per minute; in common time.

*“We’ve always wanted to make a crying at the club type of song and this is definitely it. Good Intentions looks back on a relationship and sways between acceptance and flashes of emotion. We wanted the music to reflect this, so there’s a definite tension between quiet sadness and lush melodrama.”* - Magdalena Bay, press release

*"We see that song as our most PC Music-influenced track, Mica had written a dramatic verse and prechorus that would become GI and when we started producing it we wanted to do something electronic, with a more understated type of chorus after the big prechorus buildup! Turned out cool haha we love that song"* - Magdalena Bay, 2020 AMA

## Live Performances

The song was performed at Gold Diggers in Los Angeles on October 26, 2019. It has been performed at most shows since, including almost every stop of *The Mercurial Tour.*

## Lyrics

```
Honestly, could it be?

```

```
We fought hard but nothing mattered

```

```
Memories chasing me

```

```
I got far, but thoughts run faster

```

```
Oh and if I turned back time

```

```
We’d kiss and laugh until we cried

```

```
I’d look at you and I’d know it

```

```
It feels so good can’t control it

```

```
Oh and if we had all night

```

```
We’d cross our hearts until we died

```

```
I’d look at you and I’d know it

```

```
It feels so good can’t control it

```

```
These pieces in my brain

```

```
Reflections etched in blame

```

```
Oh no, it’s ok

```

```
All along we had good intentions

```

```
These pieces in my brain

```

```
Reflections etched in blame

```

```
We lost, not in vain

```

```
All along we had good intentions

```

```
Enemy, could you be?

```

```
A lost cause, a wasted battle?

```

```
Look at me, can you see?

```

```
The pink scars within gray matter?

```

```
Oh and if I turned back time

```

```
We’d kiss and laugh until we cried

```

```
I’d look at you and I’d know it

```

```
It feels so good can’t control it

```

```
Oh and if we had all night

```

```
We’d cross our hearts until we died

```

```
I’d look at you and I’d know it

```

```
It feels so good can’t control it

```

```
These pieces in my brain

```

```
Reflections etched in blame

```

```
Oh no, it’s ok

```

```
All along we had good intentions

```

```
These pieces in my brain

```

```
Reflections etched in blame

```

```
We lost, not in vain

```

```
All along we had good intentions

```

```
All along we had

```

```
Ah

```

```
All along we had good intentions

```

```
(So good good how’d it go bad?)

```

```
These pieces in my brain

```

```
Reflections etched in blame

```

```
Oh no it’s ok

```

```
All along we had good intentions

```

```
These pieces in my brain

```

```
Reflections etched in blame

```

```
We lost, not in vain

```

```
All along we had good intentions

```

```
All along we had ah

```

```
All along we had good intentions

```

```
All along we had good ah

```

```
All along we had good intentions
