"Good For Me" is a 1992 single by Christian music singer Amy Grant. It was released as the fourth single from the Heart In Motion album. Its melody, lyrics, and rhythm make it the only song on Heart In Motion that's most comparable to "Baby Baby." It was her fourth consecutive Top Five Adult Contemporary single and Top Ten Hot 100 single in the United States, reaching #4 and #8, respectively, but was her least successful UK release, peaking at #60 on that country's chart.

There exist two music videos for "Good for Me." In the original video clip, Amy Grant frolicks and dances with another female, who was meant to be portrayed as a childhood friend of Amy's. However, once the video was completed, Amy reportedly felt that her intended message was lost and that the video had been edited in a way to make it appear as though Amy and her friend were lovers.[1] Thus, Amy enlisted the help of actor/model Jme Stein, who had played Amy's boyfriend in the video for "Baby Baby," to shoot a new video clip for "Good for Me." The original "Good for Me" video did appear on first pressings of the companion VHS video compilation to Heart In Motion, but only the second video was featured on the 2004 DVD collection Greatest Videos 1986-2004.
