I made it all back down today
Glad I can finally smile and say
I'm good
Feeling myself and I'm flirtin' with my reflection
I'm good
Lovin' every inch of my perfect imperfections
I'm good
My curves, my hair, my skin
I'm queenin' up in here
I'm... so good
So good

I'm good
I don't need nobody's, validation
I'm good
Bad as they come
And I ain't got time for wastin
I'm good
My mind, my heart, my soul
I'm shining just like gold
I'm... so good
So good
So good

Let's toast to the good life
And to me and you
Finally gettin' it right, hey
We've been through hell
But it feels like heaven tonight, tonight
The only cloud up in here
Is rainin' goodbyes
Byeee

I have cried
But I'm all cried out
I have tried
But I'm just good now, eh
But I know
How it feels to be down at the bottom
But I'm so good
So good
I'm so good
So good, oooh

I'm good
Feeling myself and I'm flirtin with my reflection
I'm good
Lovin' every inch of my perfect imperfections
I'm good
My curves, my hair, my skin
I'm queenin' up in here
I'm... so good
So good

I'm not gonna go back
Cause I feel too good
Don't be doing bad
And if you have your will
You can stay over there with that
Even an energy cling
Hope you over stand

I have cried
But I'm all cried out
I have tried
I'm just good now
But I know
How it feels to be down at the bottom
But I'm so good
So good
I'm so good, yah
So good

I'm good
Feelin' myself and I'm flirtin' with my reflection
I'm good
Lovin' every inch of my perfect imperfections
I'm good
My curves, my hair, my skin
I'm queenin' up in here
I'm... so good
So good
So good

I'm good
I'm good
So good
Oooh
I'm good
I'm good
So good
So good
Oooh
I'm good
I'm good
So good
Ooooh
So good
Oooh
So good
Oooooh

Cindy Herron, Terry Ellis, Maxine Jones, and Dawn Robinson are the original members of the R&B girl group En Vogue. The group was put together by producers Thomas McElroy and Denzil Foster after a talent search in Oakland, California in 1989. Their debut album Born to Sing was released in 1990 and featured the #1 R&B hits “You Don’t Have To Worry,” “Lies,” and their platinum debut single “Hold On,” which also peaked at #2 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart and won a Billboard and Soul Train Music Award. Their 1992 follow-up album Funky Divas hit #1 on the Billboard R&B Albums chart and peaked at #8 on the Billboard 200 on its way to triple platinum status. The lead single, “My Lovin' (You’re Never Gonna Get It),” helped propel that success as it hit #1 on the Billboard R&B Singles chart and #2 on the Billboard Hot 100. The album also featured the #1 R&B hit cover of Aretha Franklin’s “Giving Him Something He Can Feel” as well as the Top 10 pop single “Free Your Mind.”

In 1993, they released the EP Runaway Love and made appearances on the TV shows In Living Color, Roc and A Different World. In 1994, they collaborated with Salt-N-Pepa on their Top 3 platinum single “Whatta Man” and in 1996 they contributed to the Set It Off soundtrack with their hit single “Don’t Let Go (Love)” which peaked at #2 on the Billboard Hot 100 and hit #1 on the R&B Singles chart.

While working on their third album, Dawn Robinson decided to leave the group due to issues with management. The group decided to go on as a trio and released their third platinum album EV3 in 1997 featuring the Top 10 R&B/Top 20 pop hit “Whatever,” which was produced and co-written by Babyface. They went on to release three more albums—Masterpiece Theatre in 2000, The Gift of Christmas in 2002, and Soul Flower in 2004. During that time, Maxine Jones left the group in 2001 and was replaced by Amanda Cole, and Cole was later replaced in 2003 by Rhona Bennett. While the original four members have reunited for performances throughout the years, the current lineup consists of Herron, Ellis, and Bennett, and they released the single “Déjà Vu” in 2016 and released their album Electric Café in 2018.
