"Just Ace" came off Guide to Better Living, the 1997 debut from Australian rockers Grinspoon, and it was the fourth single the band pulled from that record. It was cut at Rocking Horse Studios in February 1997, with Phil McKellar producing alongside the band and handling both the recording and the mix, so the whole thing comes through one pair of ears.
Phil Jamieson had a hand in writing it, and the song plays like a young band's grin: cocky, restless and in no mood to sit still. It went on to a fifteen-week run on the ARIA singles chart, topping out at No. 25.
