Music videos
Two music videos exist for "Good for Me". In the original video clip, Amy Grant frolicks and dances with another female, who was meant to be portrayed as a childhood friend of Grant's. However, once the video was completed, Grant reportedly felt that her intended message was lost and that the video had been edited in a way to make it appear as though she and her friend were lovers.[http://www.faqs.org/faqs/music/amy-grant-faq/part1/ FAQ: AMY GRANT V-6.81 X-tended [1/2]] The original version of the video was directed by D.J. Webster and edited by Scott C. Wilson.
Grant enlisted the help of actor/model Jme Stein, who had played her boyfriend in the video for "Baby Baby," to shoot a new video clip for "Good for Me". The new clip for the song was also directed by D.J. Webster. The second version depicts Grant dealing with her boyfriend's popularity with women. The original "Good for Me" video did appear on first pressings of the companion VHS video compilation to 'Heart in Motion', but only the second video was featured on the 2004 DVD collection 'Greatest Videos 19862004'.
