"Nice to Each Other" is a song by English singer-songwriter Olivia Dean. It was released on 30 May 2025 as the lead single from her second studio album, The Art of Loving. It became Dean's first solo top-ten song on the UK singles chart, peaking at number four and certified double platinum by the British Phonographic Industry (BPI).

The song was written by Dean herself with Matt Hales and produced by Zach Nahome. On the release of the single, Dean said about the song was "about the push and pull of exploring your independence in dating. It's about enjoying someone in the present and allowing it to be both light and meaningful. I think this song and video represents a playfulness in me that I'm excited for people to see."

The music video for "Nice to Each Other" was released on 30 May 2025. It was directed by Jake Erland and shot in one continuous take. At the 2025 UK Music Video Awards it won for Best Best Pop/R&B/Soul/Jazz Video – Newcomer.

Dean performed the song on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon in July 2025.

The song received generally positive reviews by music critics. Thomas Smith of Billboard ranked the song as the best track of the album and "an atypical lead single", praising "the opening guitar riff is gently strummed, the drums scarcely noticeable" and Dean "gentle sigh" vocals.

In a positive review for Medium, Ailsya Avriel said Olivia "reflects on how she’s enjoying with being single yet open to a connection; [...] love is supposed to be an addition to life, not part of requirement to fill an absence". Shahzaib Hussain of Clash wrote that the song "moves mellifluously between breezy passages of slightly distorted indie brushtrokes, and girl-group harmonies that rise and fall like wafts of smoke".
