"I Should Be Glad" is a song by the Swedish rock band Tages, written by bassist Göran Lagerberg and rhythm guitarist Danne Larsson in 1964.

The song was the second of three singles by the group to employ a similar sound; heavily involving acoustic guitars combined with positive lyrics.

[7] However, the song's composer, lead singer Tommy Blom, received negative attention from critics, who deemed that the success of the single was based primarily on the group's "cute" appearance rather than the quality of the songwriting.

[8] In retrospect, Göran Brandels and Lennart Wrigholm wrote that "almost no Swedish group garnered as much negative criticism for a debut single as Tages did.

[10] Wrigholm describes the song as being in the Merseybeat style, heavily influenced by the English groups the Searchers and Gerry and the Pacemakers,[1] who were both around their peak popularity in the UK and Sweden towards the end of 1964.

[10] Four songs were cut during this session: "I Should Be Glad", "I Cry", and re-recordings of both "Sleep Little Girl" and "Tell Me You're Mine", the A- and B-sides of their debut single.

[13] The show turned out to be a huge success from fans and critics alike,[16] upon which Platina released "I Should Be Glad" as the band's second single the following day.
