"Good Luck, Babe!" is a song by the American singer-songwriter Chappell Roan, released as a single on April 5, 2024, through Amusement Records and Island Records. Roan wrote the song with Justin Tranter and Dan Nigro, who produced it. A 1980s-influenced power ballad, "Good Luck, Babe!" incorporates synth-pop, new wave, and dance, with elements of baroque pop and soft rock. Its maximalist production consists of pulsing synthesizers and a string section. Its lyrics vengefully address a queer woman who denies her romantic feelings for Roan in order to enter a compulsory heterosexual relationship.
Music critics acclaimed Roan's vocals, the production, and the storytelling lyrics. Many publications included "Good Luck, Babe!" in their rankings of the best songs of 2024; NME, The Guardian, and Rolling Stone placed it at number one on their lists. The single became Roan's breakout song and a sleeper hit; it peaked at number four on the Billboard Hot 100 chart. It also reached number one on charts in Ireland and Poland, and reached the top five in Australia, Canada, New Zealand, Singapore, and the UK. It has been certified platinum in Australia, Belgium, Canada, France, Greece, New Zealand, Portugal, Poland, the UK, and the US.
