Good enough the video

Story behind the songLee has said that the intro for "Good Enough" was derived from a piece written for the movie The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe, which she says was eventually cut from the score for being "too dark". However, producers of the film later stated that Lee had never been approached about penning music for Narnia and that no Evanescence music had been planned for use.
During an interview with VH1 News, Lee revealed her state of mind while writing the song.
“ I had gone through a lot of difficult things during the writing of the whole album, and by the end of it, I had stepped away from those bad situations. That's really hard. You have to be really brave and strong about it. After doing that, I felt so amazing. For the first time I felt like I could write a song based on how good I felt. I have never done that before ever. ”
Lee says that her husband, Josh Hartzler, was the inspiration for this song, as he was for Evanescence's first single, "Bring Me to Life". She refers to Mr. Hartzler in the insert booklet for The Open Door, which was published prior to the two becoming engaged:
“ Josh, you are my muse. Nothing inspires me the way you do. Thank you for all my missing pieces. Thank you for your strength and love. Thank you for letting me see myself through your eyes, because only then could I know that I am good enough for you. ”
