The radio-friendly pop ballad is a culmination of collaborations on multiple fronts. For the writing, Kheng teamed up with fellow Singaporean singer-songwriter, Linying, best known for penning and performing the theme song for 2021’s National Day Parade, ‘The Road Ahead’.
"Writing Good For A Time was as much fun as it was bittersweet. Linying was the perfect co-writer for this — breaking down heartbreak and joy is what she does best and it felt like we left little pieces of ourselves in this tune."
Together, they penned lyrics that captured the desire to stretch time for as long as possible to savour the last moments before the unavoidable end of a meaningful relationship.
Good For A Time is more than just a breakup song, it's about a couple presently breaking up and going through the painful process of untethering while looking back fondly and appreciating the love that was."
Kheng leaned on the expertise of Snakeweed Studios' Josh Wei (CL, Gentlebones) to oversee production on the track.
"Josh was a godsend. Not one stone was left unturned. We experimented with many arrangements on different instruments, and I'm glad we landed on this one."
