Rolling Stone commented that "'Long Live' is an ode to small-town Friday nights that recalls the duo’s early hits like 'Cruise' and 'Round Here.' 'Long Live' owns beefed-up drums, programmed beats, and a melodic guitar hook that snakes through the recording." [1]

Music

Kelley explained to Billboard : "This song has a throwback, Here's to the Good Times vibe, kind of from our first record. It was a throwback, but kind of new and fresh, and it just feels like an anthem. It's easy to sing along to it. Ever since we wrote it, we couldn't stop singing it." [2]
