Background

[edit | edit source]

"Good Good Father" was released on October 2, 2015, as the lead single for Tomlin's eleventh studio album, Never Lose Sight. The song is a cover of Housefires's "Good Good Father", which gained popularity shortly after Tomlin's version was released. The song is about how good God has been to him throughout his life. It topped the Billboard Christian Airplay, scoring his eighth Airplay number-one. The feat ties him with Jeremy Camp for the most No. 1s as a soloist.[5] The song also won the GMA Song of the Year award in 2016.[6] Despite its success, the song has been criticized for being "not identifiably Christian, completely narcissistic, and poor poetry."[7]
