In an interview with the Sunday Herald about the song's composition, the artist said that he had already written about half of Good Times and wanted to be actively involved in the creative process, sometimes contributing only lyrics, but adding that "with "Best Thing" I was there from the first stage, figuring out the melodies, figuring out what sounds to go on, how it should be produced".

The single peaked at number 25 on the UK singles chart and stayed on the chart for three weeks. [2] The music video of the song was directed by Tim Royes.
