Watch: Lizzo’s Official Video for Good as Hell

I do my hair toss
Check my nails
Baby how you feelin’?
Feeling good as hell
Hair toss
Check my nails
Baby how you feelin’?
Feeling good as hell

Woo child, tired of the bullshit
Go on dust your shoulders off, keep it moving
Yes Lord, tryna get some new shit
In there, swimwear, going to the pool shit
Come now, come dry your eyes
You know you a star, you can touch the sky
I know that it’s hard but you have to try
If you need advice, let me simplify

If he don’t love you anymore
Just walk your fine ass out the door

I do my hair toss
Check my nails
Baby how you feelin’?
Feeling good as hell
Hair toss
Check my nails
Baby how you feelin’?
Feeling good as hell
Feeling good as hell
Baby how you feelin’?
Feeling good as hell

While the song was released in 2016, it took three years for the singer to film a video. Much of the reason behind that has been her meteoric rise to success. The song has an uplifting message and mentality that critics are finding a welcome addition to their playlists. NPR wrote of the song in a 2018 article entitled “In Praise of ‘Good as Hell,’ The Song That Believes In You Even When You Don’t”. Among writer’s Hanif  Abdurraqib’s observations were the importance of the song. “Good as Hell” is the rare song that can play at any point in a night out and resonate in each: the getting ready, the going out, the rallying while the hours dwindle, the affirmation in a car home. It is the song that first says, “We’re going to do it,” and then says, “You are doing it better than anyone ever has,” and then, “You did it. Thank you,” he wrote in praise of its powerful sentiment. It’s one that many listeners, fans, and critics have echoed in their own messages.
