"Better Than Me" was the fourth single Hinder took from Extreme Behavior, their 2005 debut, and it trades the album's swagger for something more wounded. Cody Hanson and Austin John Winkler wrote it and Winkler sings it; Billboard found it smaller and less bombastic than "Lips of an Angel" but every bit as catchy, and MTV Asia later put it at 66 on its list of the top 100 hits of 2007.
The video plays like a grim anti-drug short. A young man in a failing relationship buys meth, suffers a violent reaction and lashes out at his girlfriend, and the dark room where the band has been playing turns out to be a cathedral hosting his funeral after an overdose.
