"So Good to Me" debuted and peaked at number two in the United Kingdom, failing to prevent "Get Lucky" by Daft Punk featuring Pharrell Williams from spending a third week at the top of the UK Singles Chart. [3] It also peaked at number four in Belgium and the Republic of Ireland and number seven in the Netherlands.

Background

Malinchak told NPR's Metropolis that, living in New York City, he had easy access to old vinyl records, one of which was "If This World Were Mine". He looked in his basement for a vocal sample to use for his track and did not initially realise what was inside the sleeve, which just said, "Motown Accas". After listening to "If This World Were Mine", he felt that the lyrics "said something beautiful". [4]

Critical reception

Lewis Corner of Digital Spy gave the song a positive review, stating: "The result is a masterclass in restrained euphoria, proving that when it comes to Chris Malinchak, less really is more. Star full.svgStar full.svgStar full.svgStar full.svgStar empty.svg." [5]
