The pop-punk veterans Good Charlotte have dropped their second single from upcoming album Motel Du Cap, following June’s comeback track ‘Rejects’. Brothers Joel and Benji Madden describe Stepper as “a song about getting up every day and trying your best for yourself and the people you love.”

The initial spark for Motel Du Cap came when the band 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, the raw emotion of the occasion, and the freedom of performing without expectations lit a fire under the Madden brothers. “It was this wild, once-in-a-lifetime vibe,” Joel recalls. “We were just there to celebrate, no pressure, and it reminded us why we started this—pure, unfiltered connection.” That night became the heartbeat of the album, a love letter to stripping things back and letting the music speak for itself.
