"I Should Be Glad" is a song by the Swedish rock band Tages, written by bassist Göran Lagerberg and rhythm guitarist Danne Larsson in 1964. Following bad press for their debut single "Sleep Little Girl", the group quickly recorded a follow-up which critics would consider good.

The song was the second of three singles by the group to employ a similar sound; heavily involving acoustic guitars combined with positive lyrics.[1] It nonetheless met positive reception among fans, reaching number two on both Kvällstoppen and Tio i Topp during the early months of 1965.
