Background and development

edit

On January 18, 2017, Macklemore posted a photo of him and Kesha together on Instagram, hinting at an upcoming collaboration.[4] When the tracklist of Gemini was unveiled on August 22, 2017, it was revealed that Macklemore and Kesha have worked together on a track named "Good Old Days".[5] The song was released as a promotional single on September 19, 2017,[6] and was sent to adult contemporary radio on October 9, 2017, as the album's third single.[7]

On December 11, 2017, Kesha and Macklemore released a video announcing a joint tour together in the summer of 2018. One dollar from each ticket purchase benefited charity. Kesha donated her proceeds to the anti-sexual assault organization Rape, Abuse & Incest National Network (RAINN), while Macklemore contributed to social and racial justice organization Plus1.[8]
