Good For You (; lit. "You're Great, Really!") is a 2013 South Korean television drama starring Ha Hee-ra, Lee Hyung-chul, Shim Hyung-tak and Kim Bin-woo. The morning soap opera aired on MBC from May 6 to October 4, 2013, on Mondays to Fridays at 7:50 a.m. for 108 episodes.

"Good for You" is a song by American singer Selena Gomez, recorded for her second studio album Revival (2015). It features vocals by American rapper ASAP Rocky, and was written by both alongside Julia Michaels, Justin Tranter, Nolan Lambroza, and Nick Monson, being produced by the latter two. Originally, the track was conceived by the writers in 45 minutes, during a session booked by the latter. Then, the singer received the song through the trio's A&R and was entirely involved in its creative session, helping to develop it as a representation of her process of self-realization, her confidence as a young woman, and her feelings of vulnerability. After it was reworked by Lambroza, she sent the song to Rocky, who added new instruments and co-produced it with his frequent collaborator Hector Delgado, who was in charge of Rocky's vocal production.

After anticipation by Gomez, "Good for You" was digitally released on June 22, 2015, through record labels Interscope and Polydor, serving as the album's lead single and as the first song by the singer to be released through those labels. A torch song, it is a pop and R&B slow jam with electro and hip hop elements that comprises a mellow, low-key snap-drop hip hop beat reminiscent of modern, pitched-down Southern hip hop productions, minor sound bursts, percussion instrumentation, drum machines, airy and transparent synthesizer, and a minimalistic bass. The artist sings atypically with breathy vocals and a plaintive timbre in the track, which was noted for being her first collaboration with a rapper. Its come-hither lyrics have intensity, psychodrama, self-confidence, and female empowerment as main themes, dealing with pleasing her lover and being the perfect complement for him. Rocky raps his verse at the end of the song, which is written from a male, player perspective and features braggadocio, profanity, and sexual innuendos.

"Good for You" was well received by music critics, who praised its minimalistic production, its sexual appeal, and Gomez's breathy vocals, as well her maturity and artistic growth; some of them, however, had mixed reactions towards Rocky's contribution. Reviewers also compared her voice to that of Lana Del Rey, Imogen Heap and Lorde, while noted similarities to the works of Del Rey. It was included in many year-end lists of best songs and was nominated to 2015 Teen Choice and MTV Video Music Awards. Commercially, the song also had a positive reception, reaching the top twenty of countries as Australia, Austria, Canada, Denmark, France, New Zealand, and Spain, as well as the Czech Republic and Slovakia's digital charts. In the United States, it debuted at number nine of Billboard Hot 100 and later reached a peak at fifth position, becoming her highest-peaking single so far, as well reaching Pop Songs' summit — where it became her first song to do so.

Its accompanying music video was directed by Sophie Muller and premiered on Times Square screens on June 26, 2015. The project uses a new and slower version of the song, which omits Rocky's verse and features string instrumentation. Highlighted for its provocative imagery, it follows a low-key premise with Gomez wallowing on several vignettes wearing a number of casual outfits. A second version was later released using the explicit edition of the track and features Rocky rapping his verse with Gomez's scenes and dynamic visuals in the background; new shots also are present in this version. Both videos received positive comments by critics, who praised the singer's sensuality and the growth in her artistic imagery, describing the first as her "most intimate" to date and comparing it to Del Rey's works. To promote "Good for You", Gomez made interviews for radios and a few live performances in shows as Today and Taylor Swift's The 1989 World Tour (2015), where she made its first live performance and served as a special guest.
