- Japanese Breakfast play their song "Savage Good Boy" live in concert before a sold-out crowd at the UC Theatre in Berkeley, California on November 7, 2021. Savage Good Boy appeared on the band's third studio album, Jubilee, released in June 2021. Japanese Breakfast is an indie rock band headed by Michelle Zauner (lead vocals / guitar / keyboards) with her husband Peter Bradley (guitar), Craig Hendrix (drums), and Deven Craige (bass). Joining them onstage were Adam Schatz (saxophone / keyboards) and Emily Wells (violin / keyboards).
Zauner said this about the song: "Savage Good Boy came from a headline I read about billionaires buying bunkers. I was interested in examining that specific type of villainy, and I found myself adopting the perspective of a rich man coaxing a young woman to come live with him underground, attempting to rationalize his almost impossible share of greed and miserliness."

Savage Good Boy lyrics:
I want to be your man
I want to be your savage good boy
I want to take care of you
When everybody's gone
Want you to be the one that I come home to
The one that's up waiting
I want to make the money 'til there's no more to be made
And we will be so wealthy, I'm absolved from questioning
That all my bad behavior was just a necessary strain
They're the stakes in the race to win
I've got a five year plan
I've got a pension and six condos
A billion-dollar bunker for two
And when the city's underwater
I will wine and dine you in the hollows
On a surplus of freeze-dried food
I want to make the money 'til there's no more to be made
And as the last ones standing, we'll be tasked to repopulate
And as you rear our children, know it's the necessary strain
They're the stakes in a race to live

Japanese Breakfast official bio:
From the moment she began writing her new album, Michelle Zauner of Japanese Breakfast (@jbrekkie) knew that she wanted to call it Jubilee. After all, a jubilee is a celebration of the passage of time-a festival to usher in the hope of a new era in brilliant technicolor. Zauner’s first two albums garnered acclaim for the way they grappled with anguish; Psychopomp was written as her mother underwent cancer treatment, while Soft Sounds From Another Planet took the grief she held from her mother‘s death and used it as a conduit to explore the cosmos. Now, at the start of a new decade, Japanese Breakfast is ready to fight for happiness, an all-too-scarce resource in our seemingly crumbling world.
In the years leading up to Jubilee, Zauner also took theory lessons and studied piano in earnest for the first time, in an effort to improve her range as a songwriter: “I’ve never wanted to rest on any laurels. I wanted to push it as far as it could go, inviting more people in and pushing myself as a composer, a producer, an arranger.” She pours that sentiment into the album from the very beginning.
Jubilee is an album about processing life and love in the quest for happiness, and how that process sometimes requires us to step outside of ourselves. Throughout Jubilee, Zauner is hardly fictionalizing her lyrics, instead pouring her own life into the universe of each song to tell real stories, and allowing those universes, in turn, to fill in the details. Joy, change, evolution-these things take real time, and real effort. And Japanese Breakfast is here for it.
