"Aren't You Glad"
Song

"Aren't You Glad" is a song written by Brian Wilson and Mike Love for American rock band the Beach Boys.[1] It was released in 1967 as the second track on their studio album Wild Honey. Love also sings lead vocal.

In its 1968 review of the LP, Rolling Stone called it a "Lovin' Spoonful type song with the Beach Boys touch".[2] That same year, Rolling Stone editor Gene Scullati said "['Aren't You Glad'] achieves a Miracles style smoothness via a Bobby Goldsboro-type song".[3] In 1979, Byron Preiss wrote that the song "epitomized the simple energy of the album".[4]

An alternate live version was released on the album Live in London (1970).[5]
