Today, Multi-BRIT Award and Mercury Prize nominee, Olivia Dean emerges with her brand new single, ‘Nice To Each Other’ via Island Records. Following her recent release, ‘It Isn’t Perfect But It Might Be’, which served as the official lead single and end credits of the latest “Bridget Jones: Mad About The Boy” film, Olivia re-teamed with English Singer/Songwriter/Producer, Matt Hales, whom she collaborated with on her first album, as well as Writer/Producer Zach Nahome (Bakar, Pink Pantheress) to create another timeless offering to add to her impressive artistic catalogue.
‘Nice To Each Other’ explores themes around the complexities of modern love. An uptempo number, Olivia’s new single is built around breezy guitar melodies and subtle harmonies underpinning her soulful vocal performance. “Nice To Each Other is a song about the push and pull of exploring your independence in dating” Olivia says, “It’s about enjoying someone in the present and allowing it to be both light and meaningful. I think this song and video represents a playfulness in me that I’m excited for people to see.”
Accompanied with an official video, directed by Jake Erland (Joy Crookes, Rachel Chinouriri, Beabadoobee), the one-take visual captures Olivia’s luscious performance as she meanders through an ever-evolving world that takes her lead and adjusts itself to her every move. Watch above.

Olivia Dean – Nice To Each Other Lyrics:
Here we are, back again
Fighting what’s in front of me
There’s so much to unpack again
But if I come to Italy
We could be nice to each other
Nice to each other
Wrong for each other
Right for each other
And rise to each other
Rise to each other
I don’t know where the switches are
Or where you keep the cutlery
And I’ll probably crash your stupid car
And make your life a misery
But we could be nice to each other
Nice to each other
Wrong for each other
Right for each other
And rise to each other
Rise to each other
Cos you know I’ve done all the classic stuff
And it never works you know it
So can we say we’ll never say the classic stuff
Just show it
Now and know it
Now now now now
Meet me on the mountain top
I’ll be in the shallow end
And wait for you to call it off
Cos I don’t want a boyfriend
But we could be nice to each other
Nice to each other
Wrong for each other
Right for each other
And rise to each other
Rise to each other
Cos you know I’ve done all the classic stuff
And it never works you know it
So can we say we’ll never say the classic stuff
Just show it
Water sunlight talking all night
Just enough to grow it
Now and know it
Now now now now
It could be nice
It could be so nice
Oh we could be nice to
Oh to each other
Mmm we could be nice to
Oh to each other
Mm it could be nice to
Oh to each other
Mmm we could be nice to
Oh to each other
