"The Only Thing That Looks Good on Me Is You" was released in May 1996 as the lead single from Adams' seventh studio album, 18 til I Die (1996). The song peaked at number one in Canada, number six in the United Kingdom, and number 52 in the United States.
Adams was nominated for Grammy Award for Best Male Rock Vocal Performance but lost to Beck's "Where It's At". Adams was also nominated for "Juno Award for Best Producer" (also for "Let's Make a Night to Remember"). The song is included on the soundtrack of the film Excess Baggage (1997) and has appeared on Adams' compilation albums The Best of Me and Anthology.
The accompanying music video for "The Only Thing That Looks Good on Me Is You" was directed by Matthew Rolston, who also directed "Let's Make a Night to Remember". The video was nominated for MTV Video Music Award for Best Male Video. In an interview with Songfacts, Adams stated that the clip is his own favorite video. It features various male and female models walking and dancing up and down a catwalk wearing sexy and outrageous outfits. It also features Adams in a bathroom sitting on the toilet with his guitar and standing in front of the mirror trying to do his hair. A shot from recording sessions is used as the cover of Adams' 18 til I Die album cover. The music video is shown in the film Red Corner (1997) starring Richard Gere.
