"Better Be Good To Me" was written by Mike Chapman, Nicky Chinn and Holly Knight. The latter was in a group named Spider. That band recorded the original version of the song which was issued in 1981. 
Tina Turner recorded a remake of "Better Be Good To Me" for her 1984 album 'Private Dancer'. She didn't change the vocal approach too much, except for injecting a grittier treatment. Turner's cover reached the Top 10 in America and Canada.
