Good God (Korn song)

"Good God" is a song by American nu metal band Korn. It was released as the third and last single from their second studio album, Life Is Peachy (1996).

In 2022, Eli Enis of Revolver included the song in his list of the "10 Heaviest Nu-Metal Songs of All Time".

Concept

Jonathan Davis explained, sometime before 2002: "It's about a guy I knew in school who I thought was my friend, but who fucked me. He came into my life with nothing, hung out at my house, lived off me, and made me do shit I didn't really wanna do. I was into new romantic music and he was a mod, and he'd tell me if I didn't dress like a mod he wouldn't be my friend anymore. Whenever I had plans to go on a date with a chick he'd sabotage it, because he didn't have a date or nothing. He was a gutless fucking nothing. I haven't talked to him for years."

Music video

An official live video, recorded at the London Astoria, is included on the enhanced version of Life Is Peachy.
