Lyrical meaning and composition

The song's lyrics revolve around the concept of monogamy and staying faithful in a relationship. Upon being asked about the inspiration behind the song, Grammer stated, "The song’s about staying honest and being like, 'Yes, you are smoking hot, but I'm good. I got a lady at home who is incredible. It’s worth staying truthful.'"[3]

"Honey, I'm Good." is written in the key of A major with a tempo of 122 beats per minute. The song is performed in cut (2

Reception

Chelsea Samilson writes: "It's got that down-to-earth realism, and he's not boasting or taking some holier-than-thou stance. In fact, he sings that 'better men than me have failed, drinking from that unholy grail.'"[10]

Music video

In November 2014, a lyric video was released that incorporated vintage comics (two out-of-print titles: Space Detective and Out of This World) for a comedic video directed by Jason Merrin.[11][12]

In December 2014, the official music video was released, featuring a montage of 100 real-life couples (who've been together from a few months to 70 years),[13] including Grammer and his wife Aijia Grammer.[14]
