"Good Luck, Babe!" is a song recorded by American singer-songwriter Chappell Roan. It was released as a standalone single on April 5, 2024, through Amusement Records and Island Records. She wrote the song along with Justin Tranter and its producer Dan Nigro. A synth-pop and baroque pop track, "Good Luck, Babe!" references a compulsory heterosexuality relationship, describing a lesbian woman trying to deny her romantic feelings for Roan and women in general.
"Good Luck, Babe!" received critical acclaim from music critics, who included it on several mid-year rankings of the best songs of 2024. Praised by Billboard as a "well-deserved breakthrough", the track became Roan's breakout song and a sleeper hit, steadily rising the charts following various live performances including Coachella and The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon in June 2024. "Good Luck, Babe!" has charted at number one in Ireland and within the top ten of the charts in Australia, Belgium, Canada, Iceland, Latvia, Lebanon, New Zealand, the Philippines, Singapore, and the United Kingdom, the United States as well as the top 20 in Austria, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malaysia, Mexico, Norway, San Marino, Switzerland, and the United Arab Emirates.
With the track, Roan earned her fastest song to hit 100 million streams on Spotify. It received nominations at the 2024 MTV Video Music Awards for Song of Summer and the 2024 MTV Europe Music Awards for Best Song.
