Good Morning Revival is the fourth studio album by American pop punk band Good Charlotte and the follow-up to the 2004 release The Chronicles of Life and Death. It is the first album to feature Dean Butterworth on drums, who joined the band in March 2005 after former drummer Chris Wilson departed in 2005. Billy Martin has mentioned in an interview that Benji Madden came up with the name for the album. This style can be heard in the album's third single, "Dance Floor Anthem", which is the most successful song on the album by debuting at No. 2 on the Australian charts and reaching No.25 on the Billboard Hot 100. It is the final album by Good Charlotte to be released through Daylight Records; they subsequently signed a deal with Capitol.

In April 2006, it was revealed that the group were writing a new album. The group mentioned that they would work with Don Gilmore, who produced the band's first album.

The band mentioned that they created over 60 B-sides for the album. Only three of them were released as bonus tracks on Good Morning Revival bought in certain stores. They also mentioned that they weren't happy with most of the tracks so they made more. Most of the songs that made it on the album were songs they made last. On May 1, 2009, Benji Madden posted "No Communication" on the Good Charlotte official website stating that it was a song they made while working on "Good Morning Revival".

The album's original release date was June 2006, but was pushed back numerous times before confirmed on the band's website. On Good Charlotte's website, Benji Madden posted a video and announced that the song "Keep Your Hands Off My Girl" would be posted on the band's MySpace. The song premiered September 22, 2006 online and it became available to hear at the band's MySpace account and at the official Good Charlotte website. Later, a video for the song was posted in the band's MySpace page on October 26, 2006. The release was pushed back to October. Originally, guitarist Billy Martin mentioned on his blog on the band's website that the album would hopefully be out for Christmas 2006, after which it was pushed back further to February 2007.
