"Good Intentions" is a song by American alternative rock band Toad the Wet Sprocket. It is included on both the band's album In Light Syrup and the Friends soundtrack, Friends Original TV Soundtrack. This version was recorded in January 1991 during the sessions for the band's third album fear but was not included because they felt it was too catchy and sounded like an obvious "hit single".[citation needed] Serviced to radio in September 1995, the song reached number 23 on the US Billboard Hot 100 Airplay chart, number eight in Canada, and number 28 in Iceland.
