“Good Times Roll” was written by guitarist Ric Ocasek as a sarcastic commentary on the good times in rock music, saying, “That was my song about what the good times in rock ‘n’ roll really mean, instead of what they’re supposed to be. It was kind of a parody of good times, really. It was kinda like not about good times at all.” Much like the rest of the album, this song was produced by Roy Thomas Baker who was responsible for the recording’s layered harmonies. Ocasek recalled, “I just remember when we did ‘Good Times Roll’ in the studio in England on the first record, and we heard back the vocals. I told Roy that I thought it was way, way too much. ... But you know, it grew on me later and it sounded so smooth. It was a nice process to do it because Roy, you know, was fortunate enough to have a 40-track machine ... so he could do layering of vocals a lot.”

Musically, the song starts with a electronic drum beat and a guitar riff, which is complimented by Ocasek’s lead vocals and synthesizers by keyboardist Greg Hawkes. The song notably features the lyric “Let them brush your rock ‘n’ roll hair”; when asked if the line was a throwaway, Ocasek replied, “Not in my opinion. It’s like ‘let them do whatever they want to do.’” Upon release the song became the bands 3rd single from their debut record and charted at the No. 41 position on the American charts.
