Better Be Good to Me

"Better Be Good to Me" is a song written by Mike Chapman and Holly Knight, recorded by singer Tina Turner for her solo studio album Private Dancer (1984) and released as a single in early September 1984. The song was originally recorded and released in 1981 by Spider, a band from New York City that featured co-writer Knight as a member. Turner's version peaked at No. 5 on the Billboard Hot 100 in the US and No. 6 on the then-Hot Black Singles charts. At the 27th Annual Grammy Awards in 1985, it won Best Rock Vocal Performance, Female, one of four Grammys awarded to Turner's Private Dancer album at that ceremony. The song was also included on the Miami Vice soundtrack, and the 2024 Paramount Pictures film IF, during which the main characters sing and dance to the track inside the official music video.

Nicky Chinn is credited as a writer but he was not even in the country when it was composed. Chapman included Chinn's name because of a partnership arrangement the two men had made, even though the partnership was unraveling. Knight was appalled but did not argue with Chapman. Chinn's writing credit gave him one-third of all royalties from the song.
