From the opening chord, the track commands attention, offering a driving rhythm that propels the listener through each emotionally charged verse. It’s the kind of song that immediately makes you want to turn the volume up and dive into its raw energy.
Lyrically, “Better” captures the emotional weight of feeling dismissed by the people closest to you. The words resonate with anyone who has ever questioned their worth, turning personal experience into a universal anthem. The lyrics balance vulnerability with a sense of catharsis, making the song deeply relatable without ever feeling heavy-handed.
