Pop-Punk Dream Realized: Yellowcard and Good Charlotte Reunite on 'Bedroom Posters'
In a musical match made in heaven, early-aughts pioneers Yellowcard and Good Charlotte have finally teamed up on a song together. The duo's collaboration on an updated feature version of Yellowcard's nostalgia-driven "Bedroom Posters" is the perfect blend of teenage angst and time-worn melodies.
Released in 2025, "Bedroom Posters" already resonated with fans who hold cherished memories of their hometowns dear. With its melancholic riffs and wistful lyrics, the track speaks to anyone who's ever felt a pang of nostalgia upon returning to their childhood haven or yearning to settle down, sacrificing one's dreams in the process.
Yellowcard lead singer Ryan Key has always been keen on tapping into teen emotions with his music. "Have you ever come back to visit your hometown and felt crushed by all the memories that led up to the day you left? Have you ever felt like settling down somewhere meant giving up your dream?" he asks, echoing the sentiments expressed in "Bedroom Posters." According to Key, this song is for anyone who has experienced the bittersweet ache of leaving their childhood behind.
The addition of Good Charlotte's lead vocalist Joel Madden adds an extra layer of emotional depth to the track. As Key explains, Madden's powerful vocals elevate the song to a truly impactful experience that can transport listeners back to the bedroom where they first discovered their favorite bands - a space filled with memories and teenage dreams.
Madden himself sums up the reunion perfectly: "GC and Yellowcard finally have a song together and it feels so right." He hopes that this collaboration not only brings joy to both fans but also serves as a reminder of the love shared between the two bands, their devoted fanbase, and music itself.
In celebration of their reunion, Yellowcard and Good Charlotte have released an emotional music video directed by Ryan Key. The clip finds the duo performing inside a nostalgic teen room that's been plucked straight from the early-aughts, replete with vintage posters, old computers, and more.
As both bands embark on new musical journeys in 2026, fans can look forward to Yellowcard opening for Good Charlotte in Australia and New Zealand next month. Meanwhile, Yellowcard will be supporting their first album in ten years, "Better Days," while Good Charlotte prepares to celebrate the success of their 2025 album "Hotel Du Cap" with a North American tour come springtime.

this collaboration is like a dream come true for pop-punk fans and honestly its all about that nostalgia vibes you know? its like stepping back into your teenage bedroom surrounded by posters of yellowcard and good charlotte, feeling all those emotions again... 
the addition of joel madden's powerful vocals takes it to another level and i love how both bands are just vibing off each other like they never stopped. its a beautiful reminder that music has that power to bring people together across time and space 
the music video is also so nostalgic and adorable, it's like stepping into a time capsule from the early 2000s!!! 
i'm beyond excited for yellowcard to open for good charlotte in australia and nz next month, and for both bands to embark on new musical journeys in 2026!!! let's celebrate with all the feels and make this year one to remember!!! 
I'm so stoked that Yellowcard and Good Charlotte are finally back together! It's like music heaven 
. Their collab on "Bedroom Posters" is pure magic, it's like they're speaking directly to our souls 
. Ryan Key's vocals are on point as always, but the addition of Joel Madden's powerful vocals takes it to a whole new level 
. I'm so hyped that they're reuniting and supporting each other's new music projects 
!
. The lyrics still feel like they're speaking to a specific generation, and not everyone can relate to being a teenager in the early 2000s 
. I'd love to see some newer bands bring back those same emotions with a modern twist 
I'm telling ya, this reunion is more than just a musical collaboration... it's like they're sending us a message about the state of our youth today 
. I'm not saying it's a bad thing or anything, but it's like they're warning us that our youth is slipping away... we gotta cherish those memories before they fade away forever 
. I know it sounds far-fetched, but just consider all the times these bands have been at the forefront of the pop-punk scene... there's gotta be more to this reunion than meets the eye 
with my friends back in high school. ryan key and joel madden are literally soulmates vocally 
i mean, have u ever felt that bittersweet ache of leaving home and giving up ur dreams? yeah, this song is for everyone who's been there 
and i love how they're celebrating their reunion with a music video in an old teen room 
can't wait to see them perform live together next month 
. But seriously, it's dope to see them collaborating again after all these years. Ryan Key and Joel Madden's chemistry is still fire 
It's gonna be amazing to see them perform together live, maybe even some throwbacks to their iconic early-aughts shows 
they're just rehashing old nostalgia and it's just so... basic 
yellowcard's lead singer ryan key is always talking about how he wants to tap into teenage angst but like, can't you write something new for once? 
the music video looks super cheesy too 
ryan key and joel madden's vocals together are literally the best thing since sliced bread 
cant wait for them to tour together next month!!! 
and good charlotte's addition is just pure magic
