Good Things Happening is the first album released by the new lineup of pop group Brotherhood of Man.

[2] During recording sessions for the album in August 1974, member Lee Sheriden came up with a song called "Save Your Kisses for Me".

The songs on the album were of a more diverse nature to the pure pop the group would later become famous for, with themes including a song about prostitution ("Lady"), open air sex ("Movin' With Susan") and a real-life tragedy ("Spring of 1912").

Many tracks featured a soul-based sound, although pure pop was present on songs such as "Do-Be-Do" and "Have You Been a Good Boy".

Other notable tracks included a cover of The Hollies' "He Ain't Heavy, He's My Brother", which showcased the group's harmonies and was a song they'd performed in their live shows.
