Good Times is the debut and only album by the British actor and pop artist Adam Rickitt, released in 1999.[1] It includes the three singles "I Breathe Again" (a number 5 chart hit), "Everything My Heart Desires" and "The Best Thing". The album reached number 41 on the UK Albums Chart.[2] Years after the release of the album, the singer declared that he hated the album and that he only entered the field of pop music due to pressure from the label. Initially, the contract with Polydor was for recording six albums but with the poor performance of the album in the charts and the singer's lack of interest, the contract was canceled and Rickitt returned to acting.[3] After years unavailable to the public due to the label's disinterest, the album was available for streaming in 2018.[4]
