about

Rated R is the brand new single from Norwegian pop-punk-veterans goldenboy. The song will be released on all digital platforms October 20 and is the first of two singles that will lead up to the release of goldenboy's full-length number four called "qualmbum", which will be released January 19 - 2024.
Rated R is an ode to a partner, a wife, a mother, a best friend. It’s a ray of light, but also a desperate search for better times, solid ground and sunshine after going through sorrow, misery and disaster.

lyrics

Clearer now, through the blurry eyes
I slumber as you’re waking up on a pillow next to mine

Hope and pray that it was only a dream last night
The tears on your cheek telling me,
that I might not be right

Know I promised to be good to you
I can’t promise everything will be ok
But there will be better days

Stronger now, in our darkest times
You know I will be holding on
To you, my heroine

Once again, there’ll be shining light
Together on a solid ground
Adventures to begin

Know I promised to be good to you
I can’t promise everything will be ok
But there will be better days

Longing for what might have been
Might end up as our sin
Keep your chin up, someday soon you will see brighter days
All we have, all we love
Keep it close to heart
I’ll sure forever keep you close to mine
