Sony Music Studios, in New York City was one of the recording studios where "Good Morning" was recorded.
"Good Morning" concludes with additional vocals that are provided by American rapper Jay-Z.
The ambient song begins the album on a sparse, downbeat note. West's songwriting is structured on the usage of anthemic sloganeering and wafting hooks intended for crowds of fans to chant and sing along to during his live concerts.
Japanese contemporary artist Takashi Murakami, who designed the cover artwork for Graduation and its singles, directed the music video.
The animated feature became one of the few music videos ever to be showcased in multiple art museums, such as the Brooklyn Museum which is located in New York City.
West often performed "Good Morning" as the opener of his concerts, including at his headlining appearance at the Virgin Mobile Festival in 2008.
