"So Good to You" is a song that was written by Lynsey de Paul,[1][2][3] and first released by Zakatek (aka Lenny Zakatek) as the B-side to his 1973 single, "I Gotcha Now", which also penned by de Paul.[4][5] The single was released on 2 March 1973 and both songs were produced and arranged by de Paul.[6][7] Her own version appeared in October 1973 as the B-side to her award-winning single "Won't Somebody Dance with Me", which was arranged by Christopher Gunning and produced by de Paul.[8][9] In Japan and some South American countries, however, "So Good to You" was released as the A-side of the single release with "Won't Somebody Dance with Me" being relegated to the B-side on its release in 1974.[10][11] AllMusic lists "So Good to You" as one of De Paul's song highlights.[12] It was also a radio hit in Italy and ranks as one of de Paul's biggest songs there according to Radiocorriere magazine.[13] It is still played on radio stations around the world.[14][15][16][17]

De Paul's version appeared for the first time on CD in 1996 on the album Greatest Hits,[18] and in 2000 on the Best of the 70's compilation album,[19] and later as a remastered track on the CD compilation Sugar & Beyond: Anthology 1972-1974.[20] It was also a track on the Brazilian CD compilation album, 70's Celebration - Greatest Hits of the 70's.[21]
