Olivia Dean put out "Nice to Each Other" on 30 May 2025 as the first taste of The Art of Loving, her second studio album, and it gave her a first solo top ten in Britain, peaking at number four on the way to double platinum. She wrote it with Matt Hales, and Zach Nahome produced it, handling guitars, lap steel, bass and synthesizer himself while Dean and Deschanel Gordon share the piano, Joel Waters adds percussion and the whole crew piles onto the backing vocals. Charlie Holmes mixed it.
Dean has described it as a song about the tug between wanting your independence and wanting someone, about letting a romance be light and still matter. Jake Erland's video, shot in a single unbroken take, won at the 2025 UK Music Video Awards, and she took the song to The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon that July.
