James Johnston Opens Up About Love and Laundry in New Track ‘Good for Me’
## James Johnston’s Latest Single: A Warm Tribute to Domestic Joy
Two-time Golden Guitar winner and ARIA-nominated artist James Johnston has released his new single, “Good for Me.” This song serves as a heartfelt tribute to home life and the simple pleasures found in love.
## The Essence of “Good for Me”
Now available through Warner Music Australia, “Good for Me” reflects a shift from wild nights to cozy evenings spent at home with his partner, Talia Rose. “It’s about the feeling of coming home to her and just doing the simple things — sitting and watching a movie, having a cup of tea,” he explains. Johnston emphasizes the importance of those moments, expressing a desire to encapsulate that joy within his music.
### Relatability in Lyrics
The lyrics illustrate the transformation from a rowdy past to a life anchored in love. Johnston humorously notes, “She got me putting more pillows on the bed sheets and watching crime shows on the TV. I think that’s something a lot of men could relate to.” He acknowledges that these actions, which his younger self might have dismissed, are driven by a genuine wish to make his partner happy.
## Celebrating Recent Successes
“Good for Me” follows a successful string of singles released in 2025, including “Hell Boy” and “Back in the Day.” The past 18 months have been significant for Johnston, who received several fan-voted Countrytown Awards earlier this year and toured globally. Highlights include a collaboration with South Africa’s Appel and performances alongside Kip Moore in Australia.

Johnston’s debut album, *Raised Like That*, launched in 2023, achieved streaming milestones and garnered a Best Country Album nomination at the ARIA Awards. His energetic live performances have captivated audiences at festivals like CMC Rocks, Tamworth Country Music Festival, and Meatstock.
