"Pretty Good Year" is a song by American singer-songwriter and pianist Tori Amos, taken from her second studio album, Under the Pink (1994). It was released by East West Records as the second single from the album in the United Kingdom on March 7, 1994, and as the fourth single in Australia on November 7, 1994. It was not released in the United States. "Pretty Good Year" became Amos's second single to reach the top 10 on the UK singles chart, where it peaked at number seven.
Alan Jones from Music Week gave the song three out of five, saying, "The second single from Amos's chart-topping Under the Pink album is an alluring, lyricai and lilting slab of introspection. With less appeal than 'Cornflake Girl', it offers a quartet of exclusive songs spread over two CDs by way of compensation."[1] Pan-European magazine Music & Media wrote, "Never boring, Tori refuses to follow up the relatively "easy" single 'Cornflake Girl' with another one in the same vein. A sensitive piano ballad is her answer to such expectations."[2]
