Good Times is the only album by British actor and singer Adam Rickitt, released in 1999. After leaving the soap opera Coronation Street, Rickitt signed a £100,000 six-album deal with Polydor Records. For his first effort he contributed to the composition of several songs, something unusual for a pop music artist more oriented towards teenagers.

Three singles were released to promote the album, the first one, "I Breathe Again", was the most successful, reaching number 5 on the UK singles chart, becoming Silver certified by BPI. "Everything My Heart Desires" was the second single; it reached number 15 on the UK chart. "Good Times" was announced as the third single, but instead the label chose "The Best Thing"; it reached number 25 in the UK. The album reached number 41 on the UK Albums Chart and did not appear on other European album charts.

Although Rickitt had said in early interviews that he would be recording his second album in 2000, Good Times became his only album and he returned to acting.
