Pop-Punk Pioneers Reunite: Yellowcard and Good Charlotte Team Up for 'Bedroom Posters' Reboot
In a move that feels like a blast from the past, pop-punk stalwarts Yellowcard and Good Charlotte have finally joined forces on an updated version of their 2025 hit single "Bedroom Posters." The nostalgic anthem, originally released with Yellowcard's lead singer Ryan Key's distinctive vocals, has been reimagined to include a guest feature by Joel Madden of Good Charlotte.
The song, which Key described as a love letter to anyone who holds memories of their hometown dear, is a melancholy exploration of the pain and longing that comes with leaving one's childhood behind. With its wistful riffs and heartfelt lyrics, "Bedroom Posters" is tailor-made for tapping into the teen angst that defined the early 2000s.
When it comes to Good Charlotte's contribution, Key praised Madden's powerful vocals, saying they take the song to an even more impactful place. As for Madden himself, he felt a sense of nostalgia wash over him when working on the track with Yellowcard. "GC and Yellowcard finally have a song together and it feels so right," he said in a statement. "I hope everyone that listens feels the love that both our bands have for each other, our fans, and for the music."
The collaboration is accompanied by an emotional music video, directed by Key himself, which finds the two bands rocking out inside a teen room plucked straight from the early 2000s.
With their respective tours just around the corner, Yellowcard will open for Good Charlotte in Australia and New Zealand next month before continuing their headlining U.S. tour in support of their long-awaited new album, "Better Days." Meanwhile, Good Charlotte is set to celebrate their recent album release with a North American tour in the spring.
The reunion feels like more than just a one-off collaboration – it's a nod to the enduring legacy of these two influential bands and their devoted fan bases. With "Bedroom Posters" rebooted and reimagined for a new generation, it's clear that the spirit of early 2000s pop-punk is very much alive and well.

The way they're bringing back the nostalgia vibes with "Bedroom Posters" reboot is giving me major throwback feels! 
I've got my earworm fix now, and I need to go listen to all their old stuff ASAP. 
It's awesome that they're teaming up for tours too - Yellowcard opening for Good Charlotte in Australia and New Zealand? That sounds like an epic show! 
And can we talk about how much I love the emotional music video? 
It just feels so special that these bands are coming together to share their love for each other, fans, and music.
i was so down when yellowcard announced their US tour and now good charlotte is joining them as an opener?! i've been listening to "bedroom posters" nonstop since it dropped and this new version with joel madden's vocals takes it to a whole new level 
ryan key's vocals are iconic but Madden brings such depth to the track... can't wait for the music video too, it looks so nostalgic and fun 
and we get to enjoy it all over again 
anyway, it's dope to see them and good charlotte bringing back that nostalgic vibe. Joel madden's vocals on "bedroom posters" sound fire 
and it's great to see the bands reuniting for a good cause 
i mean, who wouldn't want to hear a new version of "Bedroom Posters" with Joel Madden's vocals on it?

"bedroom posters" was already a bop but adding joel's vocals takes it to another level 
ryan key's direction on the music video is so iconic too
