"So Good to Me" is a song by American DJ and record producer Chris Malinchak. It was released in the United Kingdom on 5 May 2013 by Ministry of Sound.[1] The song samples "If This World Were Mine" (1967) by Marvin Gaye & Tammi Terrell.[2]
"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.
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.
