Budskap och mening redigera

Enligt Jared Weeks själv, en av låtskrivarna, handlar låten om oförblommerad sexuell ärlighet. Låten är en berättelse om hur en "bad boy" blir ännu värre, men trots det är han ärlig och medger detta. Det Weeks menar är att det enda exalterande som förekommer i många relationer är just sex och att man i sinom tid inser att det inte finns någon kärlek kvar alls.^[2]

The new record, which offered a download-able only acoustic version of the song 'The Sex Is Good,' was released under Virgin Records on June 8 of 2010. The first single from the CD, Stupid Girl (Only In Hollywood), was released earlier that year on April 8 and hit radio on April 26. The song went to No. 7 on the Mainstream Rock Song chart. 'The Sex Is Good' was later issued as the 2nd single, reaching the No. 1 spot on the same chart in January 2011. The third single, which the record was named after, was the track 'Miss America.'”

Läst 30 mars 2021. ”Like Saving Abel's breakthrough single 'Addicted,' the message of this song is one of blunt sexual honesty. Lead singer Jared Weeks explained on the band's website: ''Sex Is Good' is kinda of a story of a bad boy gone even worse! But the important message in the song is about the honesty. Seriously, think about how many times in our lives that we have all been those relationships where the bed room is the only ounce of excitement some of us have, thus out comes the truth! We have all said it at one point another..... That's right, I'm not in Love but the SEX is good.'”
