"Things Can Only Get Better" is a song by Northern Irish musical group D:Ream, released in 1993 by Magnet Records and FXU as the second single from the group's debut album, D:Ream On Volume 1 (1993). It was written by Peter Cunnah and Jamie Petrie, and was a sleeper hit. The single was remixed and re-released in December 1993 to coincide with the band's supporting Take That on their UK tour, spending four weeks at number one on the UK singles chart in early 1994. In the US, it peaked at number seven on the Billboard Dance Club Play chart later the same year.
The song's accompanying music video was directed by James Lebon and was nominated for the International Viewer's Choice Award at the 1994 MTV Europe Music Awards. At the same event, D:Ream earned a nomination for Best Dance Act. "Things Can Only Get Better" was also nominated in the category for Tune of the Year at the International Dance Awards 1995.
