The Special Ones (subtitled The Best Of) is the first greatest hits album by Australian singer songwriter, Missy Higgins. The album includes tracks from Higgins' five studio albums as well as three new unreleased tracks and the previously unreleaed demo of "All for Believing" she submitted to Triple J Unearthed competition in 2001.[1] The Special Ones is due for release on 16 November 2018.

Upon release, Higgins explained The Special Ones saying “Usually, they're the ones that get the biggest reaction at gigs, the ones that most connect with people, the ones that seem to have touched on some universal truth. They're the hooky ones you can sing out loud in the shower while no one's watching and imagine you're in a stadium. But some are special for other reasons. They're the ones that unexpectedly squeeze at your heart. They move you in a way you find hard to articulate, they roll to the rhythm of some internal beat you knew was there but couldn't quite express. This album tries to balance these two types of special.” [1]

The album will be supported by a national "Coming Home Tour" commencing in January 2019.[2]
