"Couldn't Be Better" is a song from the 2019 animated musical film UglyDolls, written by Christopher Lennertz and Glenn Slater. The song was performed in its original show-tune "Movie version" in the film by American singer Kelly Clarkson in her vocal role as Moxy, accompanied by select members of the film's cast—Pitbull, Blake Shelton, Wanda Sykes, and Gabriel Iglesias. Lennertz and Slater also wrote a "Pop version" solely recorded by Clarkson that was used in the film's closing credits.

The song, an upbeat number celebrating that life is great and it "couldn't be better", presents the life in the fictional world of Uglyville and one of its citizens, Moxy (played by Clarkson), despite loving her square-peg life in the round-hole town, is curious if there is something beyond the life they usually live. In reception of the song, some critics of the film described it as memorable and well-produced, comparing it to the 2014 film number "Everything Is Awesome" from The Lego Movie, while commercial digital sales of both versions of the song led it to attain a position on the Billboard Kid Digital Songs chart.
