"Good Time" is a song by American synthpop artist Owl City and Canadian artist Carly Rae Jepsen. It was released as the lead single from Owl City's album The Midsummer Station and was used as second single from Jepsen's second studio album Kiss. "Good Time" was written by Matt Thiessen, Brian Lee and Adam Young, of Owl City. The song received generally positive reviews from music critics, with critics describing it as a "summer anthem".

"Good Time" has attained commercial success worldwide, reaching No. 1 in Canada, New Zealand and South Korea, while peaking inside the top ten in United States, Japan, United Kingdom, Netherlands and other countries.

It received generally positive reviews from critics, including Billboard: "It only makes sense that he's joined by Jepsen...[on] a track that could become a radio staple for the rest of the summer,"^[4] and Entertainment Weekly: "'Good Time' goes down easier than a frozen margarita at a beachfront tiki bar."^[3] On his site The Re-View, British critic Nick Bassett referred to the song as "an uplifting, out and out pop duet which will most definitely ensure that neither artist has to settle for a 'one hit wonder' tag."^[5]

Slate's Forrest Wickman also called it a "worthy successor" to "Call Me Maybe". He pointed to how "the song opens with a familiar story, and then subverts it, by removing anything that's not squeaky clean." Like Kesha in "TiK ToK," the singer begins the song waking up after a night of hard partying, in his clothes with a song by Prince inside his head. But unlike them, Wickman observes, he's "on the right side of the bed", not hung over, and ready to go out again the next evening. "When a children's choir is tossed in at the end, it's a bit gratuitous, but in this wholesome song why not," he concludes. "'Good Time' is a guilty pleasure, without the guilt."^[6]

In the US, the song debuted at No. 32 on the US Pop Songs chart, and No. 18 on the Billboard Hot 100, for the week dated July 4, reaching No. 8 a few weeks after.^[7] The song is the second to make the top ten on the chart for both artists; Owl City's first top ten single since "Fireflies", as well as Carly Rae Jepsen's first top-ten single since "Call Me Maybe," making Jepsen one of the few artists in history to have two top ten songs in the same week. It sold a million in the United States by August 29, 2012,^[8] and was certified Platinum by the RIAA.^[9] It has sold 2,249,000 copies in the US in 2012.^[10]

In Canada and New Zealand it peaked at No. 1, becoming Owl City's first number-one single in New Zealand, and Jepsen's second in both countries. The song debuted at No. 17 on the UK Singles Chart on August 26, 2012. The song charted before the single release due to the song being available from Owl City's album, The Midsummer Station. It rose to 5 the following week, becoming Owl City's first top 5 UK hit since 2010's "Fireflies."

The music video directed by Declan Whitebloom was released on July 24, 2012 on Owl City's official Vevo. On the same day, Adam Young tweeted about the video saying, "It's always a #goodtime going camping with @CarlyRaeJepsen" with a link to the video onYouTube. The video features both Jepsen and Young. It was filmed in Harriman State Park's Silvermine Picnic Area.^[11]
