"Good Tradition" is a song, written and originally recorded by British pop/folk singer-songwriter Tanita Tikaram, released as the first single from her debut album, Ancient Heart (1988).

The song therefore did not get much airplay, but weeks after its release, the single started climbing up the charts and finally reached No.

Pan-European magazine Music & Media wrote, "An up-tempo country-tinged number by this 'exciting new-comer.

"[4] The accompanying music video for "Good Tradition" features Tikaram playing in front of judges at an audition, following on from an unsuccessful auditionee.

At first shy, Tikaram strikes a couple of notes and the song begins and, as it develops, the judges and the crew from the theatre start dancing to the tune.
