"Better Best Forgotten" is a song by London pop group Steps, released on 8 March 1999—only a month before the ABBA tribute single "Thank ABBA for the Music" was released. It is the final single to be taken from their debut album, Step One.
A stripped back ballad version of the track was performed during the 2012 Christmas with Steps tour. Better Best Forgotten features all three girls singing a verse each, with the boys joining in for the choruses.
The video has a watery-theme, and the group wear blue outfits. Group members Lee and H play with water pistols, and interfere with the girls' singing. During the video shoot, a glass wall collapsed on Faye Tozer.
It entered the UK Singles Chart at number 2 in March 1999, beaten by Boyzone's When the Going Gets Tough. It spent 17 weeks on the British charts and became the first single for Steps to fall off the charts and then re-enter.
