The initial spark for\u00a0Motel Du Cap<\/em>\u00a0was ignited when Good Charlotte played a private gig at the iconic Hotel du Cap in France, for a friend’s wedding in 2023. The surreal beauty of the venue, raw emotion of the occasion, and freedom of performing without expectations lit a fire under the Madden brothers.\u00a0“It was this wild, once-in-a-lifetime vibe,”<\/em>\u00a0Joel recalls. “We were just there to celebrate, no pressure, and it reminded us why we started this\u2014pure, unfiltered connection.”<\/em>\u00a0That night became the heartbeat of the album, a love letter to stripping things back and letting the music speak for itself.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>The lead single “Rejects<\/strong><\/em>” is out now. Listen\u00a0HERE<\/strong><\/a>. it’s a gritty, defiant anthem for the outsiders, delivered with the raw honesty that’s defined Good Charlotte since day one. Produced by\u00a0Jordan Fish\u00a0<\/strong>&\u00a0Zakk Cervini,<\/strong>\u00a0both of whom co-wrote the single alongside\u00a0Benji\u00a0<\/strong>and\u00a0Joel Madden<\/strong>. The band has also released an official music video — watch\u00a0HERE<\/strong><\/a>. Directed by\u00a0Erik Rojas<\/strong>\u00a0and\u00a0Lenna Onto<\/strong>, the music video blends a live action Good Charlotte performance with the world of the Claymates\u2122? animation story. The clay story follows the central character as he goes from boyhood to his mundane adulthood in a parallel experience as Good Charlotte before ending with an interwoven performance.<\/p>\n
