Toronto’s Good Kid share their new single Cicada, the final release ahead of their debut album Can We Hang Out Sometime?, due 3rd April. A fluttering, hopeful lovesong that wrestles with feelings of inadequacy, the track explores the complicated path toward becoming someone you believe is worth loving. Equal parts introspective and uplifting, “Cicada” captures the quiet turning point when self-doubt begins to give way to growth. “The feeling of not being enough is certainly something I’ve experienced,” says lead vocalist Nick Frosst. “One of the nicest things I’ve ever heard from my partner is being told: ‘You are enough’. It’s a deeply reassuring sentence, and not one I’ve always felt by any means.” LISTEN NOW OR WATCH THE VISUALISER BELOW 
CICADA-VISUALISER
 Built around the band’s signature mix of punchy riffs and soaring melodies, Cicada reflects on moments of personal stagnation and the people who help pull us out of them. “A lot of this song is rooted in times in our lives when we didn’t feel like we were making good decisions, or we felt in a slump,” adds Jacob. “You meet someone and they give you the motivation you were missing to change.” For guitarist David Wood, the song also reflects on a formative relationship that reshaped his sense of ambition. “The very first real relationship I had when I was younger ended because I was verbally very ambitious about what I wanted to achieve in music, but I never showed the drive or effort to achieve it. I think she noticed, and the breakup was brutal. A huge chunk of my career had been this idea in the back of my head that if I could be this perfect version of myself, I might win them back. But really, this song is about realising that rather than being motivated to be that for someone else, it’s about being able to be a better person so you can move on from that.” Cicada arrives as the final preview of Can We Hang Out Sometime?, a record centred around the fragile, often messy pursuit of connection. Across the album, Good Kid explore the importance of maintaining relationships with friends, lovers, and even oneself, and the difficulty of doing so when anxiety, miscommunication, or self-doubt get in the way. “The record is about acknowledging the difficulties of life and hanging out with your friends anyway, to help make it better,” says Nick. That sense of connection extends not only to the album’s themes, but to the way the band write and create together. “If we could each individually just write these songs, we probably would have,” explains drummer Jacob Kereliuk. “But part of why we’re in a band is the camaraderie and the brotherhood. We all need each other to take these ideas and explore them together.” Recorded in Los Angeles with Grammy-winning producer John Congleton (St. Vincent, Wallows, Lana Del Rey), Can We Hang Out Sometime? captures the band pushing their sound into new territory while retaining the high-energy hooks and inventive riffs that have become their hallmark. The sessions took place during the January 2025 wildfires, with the band confined to the studio as smoke filled the city and uncertainty loomed outside. “We were under a tremendous amount of stress during the process,” recalls David. “We’d wake up and it would just be huge plumes of smoke. The whole time we were on our phones trying to track the alert system to know if we should leave.” That tension seeps into the album’s sound and themes. “It’s very grungy and raw compared to our other stuff,” David continues. “We were a group of friends in a house together during this moment of chaos, and the album really explores your connection and relationship with other people in times like that.” The new single follows a string of releases that have continued to build momentum for the band, with single releases thus far surpassing 11M streams. February’s Eastside, a sharp, driving anthem built around rivalry and unresolved tension, captured the jolt of running into someone who once knew you well. November’s “Rift” has already crossed 3.5M streams across DSPs and YouTube, while December saw the band host a Twitch subathon in Los Angeles that blurred the line between live performance, community hang, and creator crossover, featuring appearances from Lilypichu, Albert Chang, Hachubby, and others. Blending the punchy riffs of J-rock, the immediacy of indie rock, and the raw edge of pop-punk, Good Kid have spent the past several years quietly building something larger than a typical band trajectory. Entirely independent, they’ve amassed hundreds of millions of streams across their catalog, cultivated a fiercely participatory fan community, and established themselves as one of the most creator-friendly projects in modern guitar music. By making their entire discography Content ID–free and DMCA–free, the band have empowered creators across Twitch, YouTube, and other platforms to use their songs without fear of takedowns, allowing the music to spread organically across gaming streams, animations, and online communities. To celebrate Can We Hang Out Sometime?, Good Kid will embark on an extensive 2026 tour, kicking off April 10 in London, ON and winding through major cities across the US and Canada before heading overseas for their biggest UK and European shows to date. Several dates have already sold out, including the band’s New York City show at Brooklyn Steel. “CAN WE HANG OUT SOMETIME?” LP TRACKLIST: 01. Rift 02. Eastside 03. Coffee 04. Cicada 05.
