When Courtney Hadwin Sang ‘Good Old Days,’ Yesterday Came Rushing Back

When Courtney Hadwin sat down to sing her original song Good Old Days, she didn’t just perform; she opened her heart. At only twenty years old, the singer-songwriter has already built a reputation for her honesty, and this video is proof of why so many listeners connect with her. Millions have followed Courtney since she first stunned the world on America’s Got Talent, and now she is writing chapters of her own story. In Good Old Days, she gives us a glimpse of love, loss and regret in a way that feels deeply personal.

The song begins with a confession: “It wasn’t wrong but it wasn’t right / all the feelings that you gave me / you should have told me that you weren’t happy.” From the first note, her raspy voice cuts like a scar that refuses to fade. Courtney’s words carry sadness, confusion, and longing. By the chorus, when she asks what happened to the “good old days” the weight of broken promises sits heavy in the air. She sounds at once fragile and strong as if she’s telling the world she’s broken but still willing to share her scars.

Fans felt every word. Comment sections quickly filled with stories of people who had lost someone, gone through heartbreak, or carried memories they couldn’t shake. Some said the song helped them through nights; others felt it gave voice to things they never knew how to say. Courtney’s honesty creates a bond stronger than any polished lyric ever could. 

But her story doesn’t end with heartbreak. In Breakable (Live at Metropolis Studios), Courtney shows the other side of the journey. If Good Old Days was about falling apart, Breakable is about standing tall again. Where the first video feels like a confession, the second feels like a declaration: she has been bruised, but she refuses to stay down.
