"Good Luck, Babe!" is a breakup anthem with a twist. It finds Chappell Roan throwing shade at a love interest who's not quite ready to embrace her true self. Roan delivers a sassy message to this "babe." She details a frustrating situation where she was all-in while the other girl remains in denial. "I needed to write a song about a common situationship within queer relationships - where someone is struggling with coming to terms with themselves. It's a song about wishing well to someone who is avoidant of their true feelings," Chappell said.

Roan wrote the song with pop songwriter Justin Tranter (Justin Bieber's "Sorry," Selena Gomez' "Good For You") and her producer Dan Nigro (Conan Gray, Olivia Rodrigo).

Roan describes the creative process as both ambitious and frustrating. Aiming for a big pop sound, she and her collaborators spent months crafting the song. But the bridge section, which predicts the regret her love interest will face one day, came together in a flash, fueled by pure emotion. "I knew exactly what I wanted. I wrote it in three minutes," she recalled to Rolling Stone of the bridge. "I felt so much anger. I was so upset. It all came out, and I didn't add anything when I wrote it all done. It was a perfect storm."
