It consists of five members: lead vocalist Nick Frosst, drummer Jon Kereliuk, bassist Michael Kozakov, and guitarists David Wood and Jacob Tsafatinos.

The band released their EP Good Kid 3 on April 14, 2023, which contains two of their most streamed songs on Spotify, Mimi's Delivery Service and No Time to Explain.

Its lead track, "Down With the King", was based on Donkey Kong Country; the lyrics describe the singer being stuck on the game and calling their friend for help.

Fortnite streamers on sites like Twitch and YouTube would often play Good Kid music in their streams, introducing it to their viewers.

[3] In response to the controversy over DMCA claims, and the number of people including their music in streams, Good Kid said it would not issue takedowns against streamers.

[2][4] According to Tsafatinos, this reaction came from the band's observation that most streamers were young people who "just wanna play the music that they like on stream", and likely did not know about the DMCA system.

[7] Good Kid's initial work was inspired by 2000s indie rock and J-rock bands, such as The Strokes, Two Door Cinema Club, Bloc Party, and Kana-Boon.
