Better Than You is an alternative pop track that blurs the lines between anger and love. Written, recorded, and produced by the song’s artist Tiarn Toni, Better Than You, explores the emotions we feel when the people we think are close to us hurt, disappoint, and sometimes betray us. Apparent from the song’s title alone, Better Than You features lyrics that cut straight to the heart, with lines that we all wish we could say to someone. 

Although the lyrics cry out as an act of vengeance, the production of Tiarn’s soft but raspy vocal, along with atmospheric textures and brooding cinematic piano, crystallises the hurt this song is inspired from, creating an equilibrium that is reflected throughout the track. With the addition of reverberant vocal harmonies, airy pads, and a structure that undulates between light and dark, Better Than You is a song that submerges listeners into a story of betrayal, and invites them to cry out for revenge as if it’s their own.
