The song was further promoted with a remix by Dillon Francis and a performance by Lipa on BBC Radio 1's Live Lounge.

Josh Gudwin mixed the song at Henson Studios in Hollywood while Chris Gehringer mastered it at Sterling Sound in Edgewater, New Jersey.

[15][20] She sings mainly about one's solo recovery from a relationship that has run its course, showing the savage side of a breakup and a cold hearted attitude to moving on.

The singer explained that she thought that this type of this split gets lost in translation a lot of the time and when things are ego-driven, it's over.

[41] Jason Lipshutz of Billboard said "We're Good" takes a little while to "fully detonate", but praised Lipa's performance, pointing out how she "tackles every lyric with such passion and precision".

[19] The staff of the same magazine viewed the song as "sultry" while Chris Murphy of Vulture thought that the opening line was a "bold" choice.

[10][23] Robin Murray of Clash viewed the song as "a bubbling piece of future-facing pop" that shows the singer "in her element", while also stating that the opening line is "a little provocative".

[24] In The Wall Street Journal, Natalia Barr hypothesized that the laid-back instrumentals implied that an amicable breakup is "as dreamy as a seaside vacation".

[15] For The New York Times, Lindsay Zoladz thought that the song sees Lipa at her "cheekiest" and that it is "pretty straightforward and fun".

[42] In The Guardian, Mark Beaumont named the song a "sumptuous slice of pop tropicália" while theorizing that Lipa rejected several metaphors she could have used in the lyrics.

[7] For Paper, Shaad D'Souza theorised that Lipa took inspiration from her 2020 collaboration with Miley Cyrus, "Prisoner", for "We're Good" with the "vintage, rock-inflected pop" sound.

[46][47] Hal Kitchen of 25YearsLaterSite thought it is Lipa's "first dud single", blaming the "tacky, shrink-wrapped island vibe" as well as the "incredibly stiff and cheap-sounding production".

[49] Caitlin White of the same website said that the song "builds on everything she established" on Future Nostalgia and noted that it takes the album into "groovier realms".

Many thought that the song's midtempo sound was did not fit Lipa compared to her previous releases, while also commenting that the sleeping and cocaine metaphor did not make sense.

Additionally, they drew comparisons from the song to "Doin' Time" (2019) by Lana Del Rey, the works of the Magnetic Fields, "Thank U, Next" (2018) by Ariana Grande and "Harleys in Hawaii" (2019) by Katy Perry.

[56] Elsewhere in Europe, the song reached the top 40 of charts in Austria,[57] Belgium (Flanders and Wallonia),[58][59] Croatia,[60] Greece,[61] Hungary,[62] Iceland,[63] Ireland,[64] Lithuania,[65] the Netherlands,[66] Norway,[67] Portugal,[68] Romania,[69] Slovakia,[70] Sweden[71] and Switzerland.

[72] In Italy, the song reached number 66 and was certified platinum by the Federazione Industria Musicale Italiana (FIMI) for selling 100,000 track-equivalent units in the country.

The song spent 17 weeks on the chart,[75] and was awarded a gold certification from the Australian Recording Industry Association (ARIA) for selling 35,000 track-equivalent units in Australia.

[77] Recorded Music NZ (RMNZ) awarded the song a platinum certification for sales of 30,000 track-equivalent units in New Zealand.

[97] The lobsters have the claws tied together by bows as one main one watches in horror as their friends begin being taken out of the tank to be cooked in a boiling pot.

[95][98] The Abduction of Europa painting is later shown again during a brief intermission, before Lipa returns to the stage accompanied by two background dancers who wear beaded gowns with crystals, green sequins and luscious silks.

[6][94] The singer switches outfits into another Prada gown with a billowing skirt alongside a Fabergé necklace, emerald earrings, rings and bracelets.

[16] Lipa's makeup consists of bronze eyeshadow with a gold shimmer alongside mascara, subtle midnight blue eyeliner and a russet shade lipstick on her slightly over-lined lips.

The camera then pans up to a frozen-breathed Lipa singing the song's final lines from a lifeboat as the image of the Titanic sinking appears in the background.

[20][44] The sinking sees Lipa and the lobster both being thrown back into the sea, a metaphor to show that both will find new partners to start the relationship process over again.

[42] Pranešimas Spaudai of L'Officiel viewed the video as "fun" and "surreal" while noting that the "playfulness" of it is from the unexpected turn for the lobster.

[24][16] The DIY staff viewed the video as a "wild journey of a sad lobster" and Swann called it "bonkers" and stated it gives the song "bonus points".

[48] In The Straits Times, Eddino Abdul Hadi noted the video's departure from Lipa's usual "club-friendly aesthetics" for "1920s-inspired glamour".
