Did You Know?

Interesting facts and trivia about Good Grief. By Songfacts®.

The first single from Bastille's Wild World album, the song was released on June 16, 2016.

Frontman Dan Smith told NME the story behind the tune: "I love hooks and making big pop songs that hopefully you'll remember, but lyrically I'm drawn to topics that are slightly less well-trodden," he said. "So this is a song about loss, but the ups and downs of it and those moments of euphoria you get."

The track features a couple of snippets from 1980s teen movie Weird Silence. Dan Smith explained: "The samples of dialogue in the song are there to give it a sense of nostalgia. Weird Science is a film that's long before my time, but there was something about Kelly Le Brock's voice and something about that line opening the song that I just loved."
