Discover the story of the song > The Luckier You Get – American Aquarium

The song is about how hard work pays off and leads to good luck. The protagonist's father taught him that there are only two ways out of their small town: go to boot camp or work hard and keep learning. The protagonist chose the latter, playing music until he found success, but acknowledges that he faced many rejections before finally getting to the top. The chorus repeats that the harder you work, the more you'll achieve and the luckier you'll get.
