Good Enough (Evanescence song)
Summary
"Good Enough" is a song by American rock band Evanescence from their second studio album, The Open Door. It was released in 2007 in Germany as the album's fourth and final single. The song was written by singer and pianist Amy Lee and produced by Dave Fortman. It was the last song Lee wrote for the album, and placed it as the final track on the album to symbolize its hopeful theme and a new beginning.
"Good Enough" is a piano ballad featuring a strings section. The song received generally positive reviews, with music critics praising its hopeful theme and Lee's composition. The accompanying music video, directed by Marc Webb and Rich Lee, was filmed in Budapest, Hungary, and features Lee in a warehouse singing and playing the piano surrounded by flames.
"Good Enough" was written by Amy Lee, and produced by Dave Fortman. It is the last song Lee wrote for the album. Partly inspired by her friend and husband, Josh Hartzler, Lee stated the main inspiration behind the song: "I had gone through a lot of difficult things during the writing of the whole album, and by the end of it, I had stepped away from those bad situations. [...] After doing that, I felt so amazing. For the first time I felt like I could write a song based on how good I felt. I have never done that before ever." The song expressed what she felt at the time, that "for once, I wasn't miserable, or stuck or trapped or sad or grieving." She elaborated, "You have to go through those things and make the changes you have to make and be there and go, 'Okay, I did it.' It doesn't come that easy."
Lee described the track as "completely different" for her "because it sort of [has a] happy ending". She found it "scary to be so vulnerable" and a "weird" outcome for her as she had never written a happy song in her life, having felt before like she needed her fear and woes to write. She said that not holding back while writing the album made her "feel really purified, like I've actually gotten a chance to break through instead of just wallowing in all of my problems.
