Good Charlotte has just unleashed the ‘Stepper’ video, and it sure feels electric. The band came out with the announcement of the release along with a trailer for their album entitled ‘Motel Du Cap’, which drops on August 8. If the comments speak for themselves, then this is a nostalgia-ridden smash that the long-time fans had been waiting for.

As yet, the video has not been described in minute detail, but the song captures the soul. One user joked about the two budgets in the album title: “I can’t afford Hotel Du Cap but the Motel might be in my budget!” The band, in turn, answered with a witty remark that expressed their trademark humor and appreciation for the audience.

Nostalgia runs awfully strong on the comments. One 31-year-old admitted the new track threw them right back into their teenage years. “Even though I am 31 today, in my mind, I am quickly rushing from school to put on MTV hoping that stepper will be at number one.” Another added: “Not gonna lie, listening to the new stuff is giving me whiplash back to my teenagehood.”

This excitement is further shared by new fans, one calling the song “Such a summer bangerrrrrr,” with many commenting that it has been stuck in their head all week.

From Peru to Argentina, the fans are from around the world requesting the band to tour these spots. One Argentinian fan even noticed a nice touch in the video, “I liked the detail of the motel owner speaking in Armenian.”

Somewhat disappointed, one fan found it a little sad not to see Billy Martin and Paul Thomas, mentioned as the original line-up of the band. A longtime fan even suggested that Billy Martin should open an Instagram account, as most of his activity is on Twitter.

Despite the minor complaints or snags, the buzz is loud and brimming with nothing but sheer joy. Phrases like “Feels so good to have you back” and “You guys still know how to do it!” are choking up the thread. And yes, Good Charlotte really are back with, surely, a bang, and the vibes are right for the album release.

They have fine-tuned the art of blending their early 2000s sounds with new energy. This is resonating with folks who have been listening for a while and are reliving their youth, as well as new younger listeners who are discovering their tunes; therefore, in my humble opinion, the track must be labeled a hit! Judging by the comments, ‘Motel Du Cap’ may well be one of the most anticipated albums this summer.

So what are you waiting for if you haven’t seen the video? The doors to the motel are open, and Good Charlotte welcomes everyone inside. Don’t expect much in the way of luxury, though—this is a motel! Sometimes, those unexpected places make the best memories.
