"Won't Keep a Good Girl Down" is a song recorded by Australian singer Marie Wilson, and released in July 1998 as the second single from her debut studio album, Real Life.

Won't Keep a Good Girl Down was co-written by Jim Vallance, Mark Hudson and Marie Wilson at Miles Copeland's castle (Chateau de Marouatte) in France in September 1997.

Vallance recalled "During the writing session, Mark and I felt very strongly that the song should be titled 'CAN'T Keep a Good Girl Down' ... an obvious word-play on the cliche 'you can't keep a good man down'.

In particular we believed the "Can't / Keep" alliteration was one of the lyric's stronger elements.

At the end of the day, Marie is the recording artist ... the one who has to sing the song and put her name and picture on the CD cover.
