Good 2B Alive is the fourth studio album by band Steelheart, released on October 24, 2008 in Europe, and November 11, 2008 in the US. It is also the band's first full-length album since the band's reunion in 2006, although it did not feature returning original guitarist Chris Risola on the recordings.

The tracks "LOL", "Buried Unkind" and "Twisted Future" has previously appeared on the band's promotional EP from 2006 - Just a Taste.

Miljenko Matijevic played all rhythm guitars on the album (both electric and acoustic), except on "Shine a Light for Me" where Uros Raskovski played all rhythm and lead guitars. Uros Raskovski also played lead and texture guitars on most of the album, except on "LOL" and "Underground".

The lead guitar tracks on "You Showed Me How to Love" and "Good 2B Alive" were taken from the audition/demo sessions in 2005 when Miljenko Matijevic and Uros Raskovski met at the Steelheart Studios for the first time.

Although credited for bass, the band's bassist Rev Jones is only featured on the songs "Twisted Future", "Good 2B Alive" and the acoustic version of "Good 2B Alive". The rest of the bass work was done by session member Sigve Sjursen.

For the album's promotion tour it marks the return of the band's original lead guitarist Chris Risola (although he also toured with the band on the short Just a Taste supporting tour in 2006). Rejoining the band also on guitar is Uros Raskovski.
